[QUOTE]Originally posted by Willing Thinker {What Box}: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] I don't know where this thread has gone. I won't even bother to keep up. But what do you guys make of racist claims as to why blacks haven't mastered golf[/qb] (before Tiger Woods) or why blacks are not good swimmers?? And yes, even [i]I[/i] have heard of the nonsense myself. Blacks haven't mastered golf because of poor short coordination muscles or some rubbish or other and that blacks aren't good swimmers because of some crap about density or they can't float(?) [b]LOL[/b] Sports and racial psuedo-science. :D [/QUOTE]^Tell me about it. But as to the golf part, there is also DJ Singh :) . [QUOTE]Originally posted by xxyman: [b]West Africans and their decendents making better sprinters because of genes. Read someplace that Africans have denser bones therefore they are heavier even if they look comparatively the same size and that can be an advantage in certain activities.[/b][/QUOTE]Yes, it was posted in this thread. Many people also seemingly fail to grasp the meaning of "[b]on average[/b]". [QUOTE]xxy man: [b]luecoderms [/b][white people][b] are better suited for colder weather[/b] [/QUOTE]Actually, the purpose of their white skin is not for temperature. There is no prupose. There is a reason, however, they lack melinan. They lack this because a greater lack of sun-light and vitamins, which cause melanin to be more of a setback than an asset. So luecoderms hold an Advantage in [i][b]darker[/b][/i] climates, not colder ones. There's a reason polar bears are black under their reflective /[i]white[/i] fur. [Props go to Takruri for this little tid bit of knowledge.] How humans have adapted to heat and the lack their of is in their bone-morphology. So yes, different people have different advantages in different settings, some times, if that was the point of you're posting this. Yes, [b]what I accept is evidence[/b]. [/QB][/QUOTE]
