Scumbria, RE: Some Olympic sports are almost entirely dominated by blacks, despite the wide scale of participation by whites. Sprinting and middle distance racing are the most notable examples. Blacks also dominate the long distances. The Kenyans are vastly superior in marathons. And yet they are horrid at the sprints. But that doesn't make any sense. Aren't all blacks alike? And while we're debating this whole black/white thing WRT track and field can we first clarify whether El Gerrouj or Moreceli (the finest middle/long distance runners in the world right now) are black or white? I never really cared until now.

Sprinting and middle distance racing are the most notable examples That is generally correct but perhaps you missed the last Olympics where the Greek won the 200 Meters. He clearly had the highest top speed and moved up through the pack in the last part of the race. Aside from that, we clearly have evidence of discrimination. The fact that whites and Asians are not represented in the sprints in a ratio equal to their populations is clear proof that they have been systematically discriminated against and some form of compensation is due. I suggest that no black be allowed to move to the sprint finals until an appropriate percentage of whites and Asians have participated. This affirmative action will go a long way to correct the injustice that has been perpetrated on these people for the last few decades and restore justice. It's the least we can do. EP
