It was directly geared towards segregation in the States, so not quite a universal thing... but close enough.

Even though I disagree somewhat, I agree overall. I find causation from the correlations to be suspect (ie: (x) earns less, (x) score lower IQ, therefore IQ correlates to earnings, ignoring that at the core of all of it, (x) earn less due to racism, IQ tests were designed to segregate (x), IQ is associated with resources and nutrition and so forth.)
