Oh now I see what you were getting at.
It really doesn't matter which genes are most reflected in the population (excepting anything that's actually harmful, which aren't connected to any external traits racists are paying attention to). HOWEVER, I would take exception to the notion that anyone actually needs to "pick up the slack" when it comes to having kids. As a species, we'd be a LOT better off if EVERYONE cut down on how many kids they had. World population is 7 billion, and frankly, we've already passed the tipping point of sustainable population. It would be better if we stopped making so many people.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
