Problem with IQ tests in Murray's "The Bell Curve"? Murray's The Bell Curve came up in a discussion recently.  I have a very clear memory of reading a review of the book at the time it came out.  The reviewer claimed that one of the many problems with Murray's methodology was that he relied on IQ tests written in English but given to African students whose first language was French.  I cannot find a link to this anywhere. Anyone have any info on this?  Is the critique accurate?  Is it possible that I am remembering the review of some other work?
After some significant searching myself I don't believe that what you've stated was one of the many criticisms of "The Bell Curve". 

It wouldn't be impossible for the review you read to go something like, 

"Murray's, "The Bell Curve" is akin to other racially biased research like as XYZ's "IQ Research", in which XYZ claimed that African students had, on average, lower IQs, but when the research was reviewed showed that those students had received a test in English, while their primary language was French."

Memory can be a tricky thing and the way connections are formed around subjects we don't use often is haphazard at best.
