There are no meaningful genetic differences between human groups: there is more variation between individuals in each group than between different groups
This is typical jewish trickery. It's technically correct, but it misrepresents reality. People would not be as easily duped by this sophistry if we use something that has no emotional meaning to them:
There are two 5th grade classrooms at ABC elementary school. Each classroom is using a different curriculum and we're trying to evaluate which is better, or if either is better. We administer identical standardized tests each quarter to each class and tally the results. The students assigned to each room are carefully randomized and the teachers alternated each year. The mean score of curriculum A is consistently one standard deviation below curriculum B on every administration of the standardized test. In a typical grading scheme this is a whole letter grade difference. We can conclude that curriculum A is not as good as curriculum B.
Imagine if the promoters of curriculum A told us, "There really is no difference between the two. The variations between students receiving curriculum B are larger than the difference between curriculums A and B." The second sentence is actually a true statement, but it actually has nothing to do with whether curriculum B is better than curriculum A. Comparing the variations within a sample to variations between samples is not a valid statistical technique. In every valid statistical measure students receiving curriculum A are under-performing students receiving curriculum B.
Carried over to racial politics, blacks and Hispanics underperform white students by every measure that exists. The fact that there is more distance between the low and high scoring white kids than there is between the average white kid and the average black or Hispanic kid has no statistical meaning other than to inform us that the distributions have some overlap. When you compare apples to apples (high score to high score, mean score to mean score, low score to low score, etc.), the white kids come out on top every time.
Indeed, but if you look at how they behave, Marxists want equality even if they have to change reality for it. Hence lowering women's entrance standards for the army, black students' entrance standards for universities etc.

But it's not equality any more than if I didn't like that 2 < 3 and passed a law that said we have to pretend 2 = 3. You can mandate that people participate in your game of pretend, but you can't actually make it real.

There are different types of equality. To Marxists, 2=3 is indeed equality, because they are focused on the equality of outcome, not the equality of conditions.
