So what's so wrong with making racial (iyo, racist) statements that are true? <<Why not wait until the measurements and physiological characteristics of great runners are compared to other population sample>> They've done this. On the whole, African's have longer thighbones and less body fat then Caucasions. It makes pretty good sense, they live in Africa, where their ancestors hunted by jogging down prey, and don't need as much fat to stay warm during the winter. Why don't you watch the Olympcis next time, and tell me how many Caucasions win medals in running. Caucasions on the other hand lived in Northern climes, where the extra body fat was advantageous in the winter, and hunted more lethargic animals that couldn't see as far. Her is a racial comment, All Italians are Catholic. Is it derogatory? Only if you are saying being Catholic is bad. Is it absolutely true? No, there are Italian orangemen, but they are a minority. My salient point is that the liberals have twisted the making of any racial fact into a racist mentality. Just because you beleive racial facts does not mean you want to kill all the Jews. Overall, there is no evidence that any one race is better than others. But there are scientific differences. Ever notice Asians have different eyes then caucasions? Is it racist to say Asians have slant eyes? No, its not, they do. It is as racist as saying Caucasions have pale skin, or Blacks have wide nostrils. These are biological differences, and are fully true.
