What functional good does it do to point out the unfair nature of natural selection if the end result is a poorer performance amongst the already disadvantaged?
If people are easily molded into behaving according to the how the majority of their race behave then they probably have very little potential for enlighenment anyhow.

I find it amusing how often people who put down the worth of others use spelling and grammatical mistakes while they are doing so...
Grammatical errors? Come on, you can do better than that Elizabeth. You know, I have been known to occasionally leave the house with clothes that do not match, so perhaps you should criticize me on that point as well, as a possible indicator of my lack of intelligence.

Do you have standards about her appearance as well as her mind?
Men are programmed to be attracted to females that show the stereotypical sexual signs of fertility. However, I would be content living with an intelligent female that doesn’t have strong sexual features, doesn’t want children, doesnt want a romantic relationship and so on. Basically I wouldn’t mind a helper to aid in the whole survival venture.
She doesn’t even have to talk very much. Kinda like a dog, but only one that can do chores, walk herself, feed herself, and listen to me talk so I don’t have to talk to myself all the time….

There's no genetic base found yet to substantiate this thinking, so to say 'born with' looks like the same tempting error the Nazies made once. One could speak of memetic 'races', which are cultures or civilizations, but only when spoken of in the broadest sense possible. To link some emperical, behavioral evidence to a science like genetics is perhaps tempting but no cigar.
Compare the survival abilities of the Japanese to the survival abilities of the Blacks, and there is a notable difference. Generally speaking, Blacks as a whole struggle in whatever society that are in, whether it be Africa, the USA, Canada, The UK, and so on. For instance: the worst areas in New York City tend to be black areas, and the worst areas to live in my local city are black areas. And Generally speaking, the Japanese as a whole do much better in whatever society they enter, whether it be USA, Canada, Europe, or their native land of Japan.
However, I’m not saying that what presently is, is what will always be, as races could evolve and mature just by being in relationship to more intelligent individuals, and perhaps interracial breeding may also play a factor.

Since there's no evidence to this and intelligence arises out of a complex of factors,
My intuition tells me that sages are born. Sages are born with the necessary genetic superiority from birth, and it is their own inquisitiveness, and relentless wonder that pushes them into these complex of factors that you speak of. However, sometimes the environment is harsh, and the seed dies prematurely, but if the environment is fertile then their own interest pushes them into the necessary conditions to find truth.
So the complex of factors only happens due to their own interest. And the quality of their interest is genetically determined.
Four factors to consider: Geography And Genetic Adaptations; Race and Intelligence.
