Every race , nation, religious or community groups has its own strength and weaknesses and inclinations.
None is absolutely perfect.
Some , comparatively ,have more strengths than others. Likewise some have more weaknesses than others.
For example, we find lots of successful Jews in the world of finance, while the Chinese are excel in education. The blacks are the pioneers of new musical trends in the entertainment industry.
Yet, everyone in a particular community/race/religion excels in whatever that community/race/religion is famed for.
But the average achievement for that group is definitely higher compared to other groups. It is the mean that shows the success in any field.
These groups of people are good in whatever they are famed for because they have inclinations for it for centuries.
Black Americans are good in singing and dancing because singing and dancing have been part of their African-originated cultures for centuries. They sing and dance when a baby is born, when a boy reaches puberty, when someone gets married, after a successful hunt etc.
The Chinese were scholars for many centuries as they were the first to invent the printing press, ink brushes, public examinations etc.
Of course when we compare the Blacks and the Chinese in the field of education, the Blacks seem lagging seriously behind. And it is not politically-correct to say the Blacks are weak in studying. But statistically, it is true.
Most importantly is deny a community's weaknesses due to pride. We must learn to continously evaluate ourselves and take steps for improvements instead of living in denial and never improves.
