There's not an objective/standardized way to even measure intelligence, so you'll forgive me if I treat the claim that there's an empirical difference in intelligence between races with a mountain of skepticism.

The OP said IQ. That's a specific measure that may or may not be related to intelligence. It does have strong correlations with academic and life success though.
