There's a great book that thoroughly debunks The Bell Curve, and the concept that IQ is linked to race:
https://www.amazon.com/Bell-Curve-Wars-Intelligence-Republic/dp/0465006930
It's a series of essays by recognized leaders in their respective fields, each debunking a different aspect of The Bell Curve (methodology, analysis, concepts like immutability of IQ, etc).

[Here] (http://sandratrappen.com/2016/03/18/when-the-bell-curve-becomes-a-boomerang/) is a pretty thorough and well-sourced overview of it. There are also plenty of book length debunkings and compilations of debunkings and peer review on Amazon if you're interested, I recommend [The Bell Curve Wars] (https://www.amazon.com/Bell-Curve-Wars-Intelligence-Republic/dp/0465006930/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1509645353&sr=8-4-fkmr2&keywords=the+bell+curve+debunk)
> IQ is overrated, but it has proven lifelong implications.
Researchers found that socioeconomic status is a better indicator of future poverty. Also IQ has a "medium to strong" correlation to [socioeconomic status] (http://steinhardt.nyu.edu/scmsAdmin/media/users/lec321/Sirin_Articles/Sirin_2005.pdf).
> To me, the question is why were the results the way they were.
Yes, for all the scientific problems with The Bell Curve, Charles Murray wouldn't be known as 'that racist scientist' if they tried to figure out why people from different races score differently on IQ tests, instead they asserted that A. intelligence is genetically inherited, a controversial and unsupported claim then and now and B. that's the explanation, one race is naturally smarter than the others.
The scientifc effort "Human Diversity Project" that investigates human genetic variation states
http://hsblogs.stanford.edu/morrison/2011/03/10/human-genome-diversity-project-frequently-asked-questions/
"Scientists already know at least one interesting thing about these kinds of genetic variation. Although there are genetic differences between groups, the extent of such difference is small compared with the amount of difference found within a group. People within “ethnic groups” are genetically more different from each other than their group is from other groups.
Are ethnic groups genetically definable?
As far as scientists know, no particular genes make a person Irish or Chinese or Zulu or Navajo."
