For combining information in such a way you would have to believe that the average black with a IQ of 120 will get a higher GPA score than the average white person.
I think there little reason to believe that’s true.
Could you explain your reasoning here?
IQ is a strong predictor of academic performance, and a 1.5 sd gap is a fairly significant difference. The only thing I could think of to counterbalance it so that the average white would get a higher GPA would be through fairly severe racial biases in grading policies in their favor, which seems at odds with the legally-enforced racial biases in admissions / graduation operating in the opposite direction. Not to mention that black African immigrants, legal ones anyway, seem to be the prototype of high-IQ blacks who outperform average whites.
I am a little puzzled by the claim, which leads me to believe I’ve misunderstood you somehow or overlooked something fairly important.

I missed the qualification of speaking of whites with the same IQ. I added it via an edit.
Right, okay. I did misunderstand you. I’ll correct my comment as soon as I figure out the strikethrough function here.
I believe the primary way to get strikethrough is to strikethrough the entire comment, by retracting it.
You can use unicode.
I’d recommend Vaniver’s solution instead—IME Android phones don’t like yours.
