Fischer’s point was genetic differences that contribute to race differences probably impacted intelligence. It’s a persuasive and logical argument that’s hard to refute.

It is easy eough to dispute, just look at the data that shows experience completely overshadows the possible genetic impact when it comes to testing for intelligence.
