There is a lot more variation(difference) in intelligence amongst blacks and amongst whites than there is between blacks and whites.

Likewise, measuring the ability to jump, sprint, sing, dance, eat watermelon, there is more variability(difference) amongst blacks and amongst whites than between whites and blacks.

To put that another way: There is more intra-genepool variability than inter-genepool variability

This applies to many other things. There is more variability in the quality of the trucks in Mexico and more variability in the quality of trucks in the US than there is variability between Mexican trucks and US trucks.

You are quite correct. However, I fail to see why the point is relevant.

There is much greater variability in strength and athletic ability, for example among women and among men than there is between the two groups.

Does not change the fact that men, as a group, are able to beat the crap out of women. That there are extraordinarily exceptional women who can beat up most men, and men who most women could beat up, also does not change the basic fact.

Of course there is. That is well-known, but the lefties can't stand to recognize/accept that the the mean values are significantly* different even though that difference is smaller than the sigma in each distribution.

* in the statistical sense.

Granted the “Bell Curve” for each group. That is not the point. The comparison is between groups.
