I don't see what advantage calling it "ethnicity" has. I have heard of race to refer to all humans, but only in the phrase "the human race", or when a fantasy setting with non-human people is involved. I don't see how the word can cause confusion.

The genetic component would be visible by its correlate, the tendency to rebel or resist. Slave-rebellion was the all-pervasive fear.

But in general, I think humans are well equipped natively to judge the intelligence of their fellows with minimal interaction. Intelligence tests have mostly dulled our native capacities to judge intelligence.
