Race
Races of people are very large, loosely defined groups of genetically similar people. This topic is nowadays forbidden to be discussed and researched in science, however there exists a number of older research and some things are just obvious.
In relation to technology/math/science it is useful to know the differences in intellect between different races, though cultural and other traits linked to races may also play a big role. It is important to keep in mind intelligence isn't one dimensional, it's one of the most complex and complicated concepts we can be dealing with (remember the famous Chimp test that revealed that chimpanzees greatly outperform humans at certain intellectual tasks). We can't simplify to a single measure such as IQ. Let intelligence here mean simply the ability to perform well in the area of our art.
The smartest races in this regard seem to be Jews and Asians, closely followed by the general white race. There is no question about the intelligence of Jews, the greatest thinkers of all times were Jewish (Richard Stallman, Einstein, Marx, Chomsky, ...). The African black race (the negro race) is decisively the lease intelligent -- this makes a lot of sense, the race has been oppressed for centuries and didn't get much chance to evolve towards good performance in intellectual tasks, quite the opposite, those who were physically fit were probably more likely to survive and reproduce as slaves. 1892 book Hereditary Genius says that the black race is about two grades below the white race (nowadays the gap will most likely be lower). There isn't so much info about other races such as the red race or Eskimos, but they're probably similarly intelligent to the black race (The above mentioned book Hereditary Genius gives an intelligence of the Australian race at least one grade below that of the negro). The brown races are kind of complicated, the Indian people showed a great intellectual potential, e.g. in chess, math, philosophy (nonviolence inherently connected to India is the most intellectually advanced philosophy), and lately also computer science (even though many would argue that "pajeets" are just trained coding monkeys).
Increasing multiculturalism and mixing of the races will likely make all of this less and less relevant.
