[QUOTE]Originally posted by Willing Thinker {What Box}: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Grumman f6f: [b] Originally posted by Obenga:[/b] [b]''Genetics is probably the reason Europeans dominate in power lifting and swimming.....there are probably all kinds of athletic events that will give some populations an advantage over others.''[/b] Black man added: [b]''I think it has more to due with height and strength. Work=(Force)x(Distance) All power lifters are short in height. They have to perform less work. We will probably never see a tall power lifter unless he/she is a freak of nature.[/b] Willing Thinker said in response: [b]''Yes.''[/b][/QUOTE]Oh yeah, gotcha. I forgot about Obenga's initial post and did not bother to go back to it. [QUOTE][b]Yet it does have something to do with those groups you just mentioned.[/b] [/QUOTE]Not really, I notice boxers/fighters coming from certain areas do better than others, compared to whole "races". Same thing, certain areas in the U.S. are tougher than others. Not Asian Black or White. [QUOTE][b]You will recall there are no Chinese power lifters [/b][/QUOTE]Like there were no Asian or female trombone players in the past? I recall a story about bias against one girl, but I can't remember who. [URL=http://www.scena.org/lsm/sm9-5/ascension-Asiatiques-en.htm]Asian musicians and lyricists have stereotypes against them.[/URL] [QUOTE]Grummam 6f6: [b]When you ask me about the ''hurt feelings'' this is a reference to those who deny genetics are involved[/b][/QUOTE]Genes are what make us. Who would deny that? [QUOTE]"hurt feelings", this is a reference to those who deny genetics are involved [b]in all aspects of humanity[/b][/QUOTE]Well, genetics are [i]"involved in all aspects of humanity"[/i] as much as atoms are [i]"involved in all aspects of humanity"[/i]. Atoms are what we're made of, are they not? However, many seemingly random outside influences affect us? Culture affects us. Culture and stereotypes play a large part in in what we do and think, and how we do it. Like the identity studies, that showed that when females and minorities didn't have to classify themselves as such before academic testing, they did [i]better[/i]. [i]One[/i] less [b]reminder[/b] of [b]who they were[/b] before a test. Here are some supposedly black fields of finess: beat-boxin & freestyling Yet two of the most awsome beat boxers I know of are a Jewish boy [URL=http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ikkx6a8WzOM]and a Hawaiin human beat machine.[/URL] Yes, [URL=http://youtube.com/watch?v=Vb75exix4w0]more than urban[/URL] blacks [URL=http://youtube.com/watch?v=cUbynDe1pn4]make beats[/URL]. Same with [URL=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms2nnfJVZJ8]rap battles[/URL] and [URL=http://youtube.com/watch?v=DCRfBDngQ7M]'freestylin'[/URL]. [URL=http://youtube.com/watch?v=NV7BHNGvpYE&mode=related&search=]Asians[/URL] [URL=http://youtube.com/watch?v=jhkRH0-0pck] are [/URL] [URL=http://youtube.com/watch?v=yCpq5JxfnGw&mode=related&search=]no joke.[/URL] [URL=http://youtube.com/watch?v=lc311i9G-xM]Got to give props where there do.[/URL] Got to give it up to this little white kid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWdOPT_A_Bw sounds like [URL=http://youtube.com/watch?v=JSTmSyApGNM]some of what[/URL] gets [URL=http://youtube.com/watch?v=gETjtn0DQz0]on the radio[/URL], and that's saying something, both ways.
