Black History

I loved how Michael Johnson tried to disprove John Inverdale's perfectly logical point that if 81 of the 82 men who have run under 10 seconds are black then surely that is incontrovertible evidence of a genetic influence, rather than just a coincidence, by arguing back well look at Jamaica then, it's such a tiny country with a tiny population and it has produced all these fast men that are dominating sprinting, because it's their national sport there and so they grow up wanting to run i.e. nurture. Errr no, that story proves even more strongly that a genetic element is at work!!

Seems these days you can only celebrate your ethnicity if you are not white.

white people celebrate their ethncity all the time...especially when trampling over other peoples culture

does this mean that causcasians are genetically predisposed to cycling/rowing/equestrian?

I theory I heard in my barbershop:

It started from Africa, where lets face it, were hundreds of years behind. While the European man went to markets to buy their food we had to hunt and chase for our food.

The European man then came and took slaves, a lot of these slaves died in the ships, but the strongest ones survived. The Caribbeans and Americans. There you have it. And obviously, these have not been diluted with "weaker" blacks as only the strongest survived.

Added to that, while on the plantations they were made to work and work and work.

And the you have it. A weird type of evolution.

swimming is the best example of ethnic genetics. White people are better swimmers and black people are quicker runners. It's like men being better footballers. Simple genetics.

We don't have the technology and infrastructure to be good at bikes. If we did, we'd possibly be the best.

That's sort of 80% true, I think.

Giroulski was almost correct, it's more to do with the curving of the leg bones in black people which makes them more adept at running than the whitey's.

Swimming is also dominated by non-African ethnicities. This is not to do with genetics, black people are just scared of the water. Or religiously bound away from the water. One or the other.

I find that offensive.

I don't know why I typed whitey's.
