Then my second point still stands: I don’t see how cotton picking will produce god sprinters. What’s more, the slave trade to Northeast America lasted roughly 150 years and ended over two centuries ago - even if we count til 1865, we’ve still had the same amount of time to undo any developments. You could be right, of course, but I think it’s a very shaky argument.

It’s a fair point. I don’t think “cotton picking” has anything to do with it. It would be factors related to keeping the body alive and going and strong. And Also a fair point about having plenty of time to undo any of it, but I certainly don’t think the undoing is nearly as aggressive as the doing.
Regardless, it’s not even something I was trying to assert. I simply said I wondered about it.

I’m going to guess climate humidity isn’t why ‘blacks’ are generally better athletes. I didn’t go research it myself, but there are plenty of incredibly humid environments that don’t seem to be producing 80% fast twitch beasts that destroy Jamaican sprinters(and Jamaica isn’t THAT humid either, certainly nowhere near that of areas of Southeast Asia or Brazil, etc).

I was just about to say, where are all the blazing fast Indian or Thai sprinters if that is true? Seems like a strange correlation and one that may be grasping for straws. You could have said that in Africa, speed and strength were desirable traits due to their environment and those people generally being better providers therefore they passed their genes along more frequently. They are generally fewer generations removed from third world existence and therefore have not had nearly as many generations to water down the gene pool with the weaklings that survive because of civilization that wouldn’t have in tribal life (which is where we all ultimately came from at some point).

the viking nations are incredibly disproportionately represented in the history of great strongman competitors. I guess you could kind of argue that was culture, but it was culture far in the past which resulted in breeding really big, robust people.

No worries, mate. I’m not even remotely an expert on genetics; all I know is that they tend to be way more complicated and way less well-understood than we usually think they are.

That’s just it, though. You can’t even ask the question.
Just asking a question makes you a “…RACIST MORON THAT UNDERMINES ANY POSITIVE PHYSICAL TRAITS OUTSIDE OF CAUCASIANS AS FREAKISH AND OR EXPLAINABLE THROUGH MONKEY SCIENCE GO FUCK YOURSELF.”
Chris Rock just came out and said he’s not doing college tours anymore because colleges have become too Conservative…
SuperVillian’s crackpot response was exactly what Chris Rock was talking about.
The list of sub ten performers is littered with African born athletes who are presumably not decendants of slavery. That is pretty clear and irrefutable proof you are all a bunch of racist mofos. Except for Killer Dirk who is just irrefruitable.
