The effects of genes on development are hugely diverse, and math equally so, that it would be foolish to suggest that gene X made you a better mathematician. It's not PC, to have a fixation with race, but it is scientifically flawed. It would be akin to saying that computers that used a certain brand of wire were better at running Halflife, or that items with a W in their names were naturally better at floating.
A scientist who suggests race being a single factor in a person's intelligence or proficiency at mathematics, art, singing or kung fu is either not looking properly at their results, or they are ignoring cultural, developmental, personal, educational and a multitude of other factors at their peril.
