White men can run
“Let’s start with the biological differences in sports, which is
something almost everyone observes. Jon Entine’s recent book Taboo:
Why Black Athletes Dominate Sports and Why We Are Afraid to Talk About
It, addresses the old cliché that “White men can’t jump” (and the new
one that Oriental men jump even less well). Entine shows that in
sports, it is Black men and women who can sky! And yet, as the data
also show, it is mainly Blacks of West African descent who excel at
running over short distances, while Blacks of East African descent –
from Kenya and Ethiopia – excel at marathon running over long
distances. These differences between East and West Africans show that
taking an average can sometimes gloss over important distinctions.
Still, Blacks from both East and West Africa excel at one or another
kind of running. In sports, Blacks as a group, have a genetic
advantage. “ J Phillipe Rushton
