<p>I have a question, why are so many of the sports teams for the US during the olympics full of black people? Or even national leagues like football, basketball?
I mean, it’s not like this is the United States of Africa. Why can’t there be an equal balance of races (like, affirmative action for asians or something, so more asians get to be on these teams).</p>
<p>It’s about having the best athletes, not what races they are.</p>
<p>^ And thus we reach the OPs central point regarding affirmative action. </p>
<p>Unless I interpreted wrongly.</p>
<p>Lets be fair to all races of people. then maybe we can lose. im sure we would be happy about that
life aint fair!</p>
<p>OP does not have a central point. </p>
<p>The OP is tomjonesistheman… enough said.</p>
<p>African Americans have more fast-twitch muscle fibers.</p>
<p>Hence why they are stereotyped as being faster/better jumpers/more agile/etc… but this stereotype is at least partially true.</p>
<p>Running backs are almost always black.
(Most of) the best basketball players are black (they jump hiiiiiiiiiiigh).
Faster sprinter in the world? A black Jamaican.
I could go on…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The stereotype regarding African Americans and academics is also at least partially true, yet…</p>
<p>
Now don’t make hasty conclusions here…how do you know Lightning Bolt did not use 'roids?</p>
<p>I’d say all races have advantages/disadvantages.
A large proportion of asians wear glasses (near-sighted). Many white people get sunburned/skin cancer. Many Africans have AIDS/ADHD, can’t mentally concentrate/focus for long periods of time.
Note: I did not say “all”, I said “many.” And yes, many.</p>
<p>^…God, man, are these joke-posts or are you for real!?!</p>
<p>You know it’s true…just think about it.</p>
<p>So many of the sports teams for the US during the olympics are full of black people because it’s like that. </p>
<p>Just because people are black doesn’t mean they come from Africa. You have a very primitive mind, assuming these things.</p>
