The point was, given two people diagnosed as "retarded" based on their IQ, the one hailing from the higher-IQ ethnic background will be more likely to have additional problems like physical deformities, motor issues, social deficits, etc., while the other will be more likely to be completely normal (apart from their low intelligence).
The example of Down's Syndrome was just borrowed from another post to illustrate. I'm not aware of an ethnicity-aware scale for making such diagnoses, either.
Regarding whether a White person with Down's Syndrome would score higher than a Pygmy on an IQ test: There are probably more scientific ways to test that hypothesis than asserting "no way".

All of the things you described are the primary reason why we have IQ tests. Their original purpose was to find how children would later on perform at school.
And that's why the questions are, as I repeated in previous replies, purely about pattern recognition, memory and stimuli, aka, raw cognitive abilities, as it's them that anything else in regards to any individual's future academic career or life in general will be based on.
Comparing IQ scores on an individual basis is pointless, but on a national or racial level it matters quite a lot. Because intelligence is the defining trait of humans, and intelligence allows societies to be organised properly. If it lacks in any place around the world, there will be chaos. At this point of time, this is observed to be in Africa, where most of the failed states, aka, the countries where there is almost complete anarchy and the state cannot control anything exist.
I saw, browsing this thread, about chess players, where it's a balanced mix between races. In chess, as in any intellectual or physical activities, there will always be individuals from any nation that will display prowess in a certain activity. But the issue here isn't that. But rather, what the average actually is. That's what over the last decades many people want to see. Because on an individual basis, at least on paper, we can "diagnose" the cognitive abilities of each person even if it's not that much accurate.

Lynn shouldn't be trusted because he unironically said that Haitians are on average more intelligent than Guatemalans. This, of course, is literally something only someone fundamentally deranged would dare say.

Im not sure. Consider theres important number of people from 86/87 IQ region moved to west and west can still keep 96/97 IQ, i would expect better if Kurds/Eastern Anatolians/Ciscassians/Caucasians removed because objectively they perform drastically worse than people with high Turkic ancestry. And keep in mind, theres a huge number of Albanians in western Anatolia, mostly originate from Macedonia and Kosovo which have 78 and 81 IQ scores according to your map.

Since the Republic of Turkey recognizes all the people in Turkey as Turkish and many people who are not Turkish claim he is Turkish, we will never know how many ethnic Turks live in Turkey. Islamized Pontic Greeks, Albanians, Georgians, and many other minorities usually claim they are Turkish.
