Which is an odd claim to make as a supposed Mathematician, given what the American Mathematical Society say on the matter:
Counting, rhythm, scales, intervals, patterns, symbols, harmonies, time signatures, overtones, tone, pitch. The notations of composers and sounds made by musicians are connected to mathematics. The next time you hear or play classical, rock, folk, religious, ceremonial, jazz, opera, pop, or contemporary types of music, think of what mathematics and music have in common and how mathematics is used to create the music you enjoy.

And here's an interesting paper discussing the large effect of SES on IQ in children. Also take a look at this review of the black-white IQ gap, which, while assuming that races do exist in the first place and describing that a gap in average IQ scores does exist between various "races," does note that the heritability of IQ in Africa is quite low due to the impoverished conditions many families live in there.
You misunderstand, as SES takes you to your maximum potential but cannot change the base level; this was my point.
