I would like to point out at this point that anyone arguing that negroes do not enjoy both an advantage at athletics and a disadvantage at swimming compared to caucasians is flat out retarded.

It is also retarded to assume that "negroes" is a group that explains much in terms of overall genetic composition. I don't think anybody would argue that certain populations have different physical characteristics based on genetics. However, it is important to note that "black people" does not really narrow down the population that you are commenting on. It conflates many different groups that have wildly varying attributes.

Yes, but my statement will be true no matter how you define the groups.

That's incorrect. Certain populations of "black people" excel at certain sports and other populations of black people do well in different sports. I'm specifically thinking of the East/West African difference. Referring to them as the same group is misleading.

I don't really disagree with your overall point in this case, I just think it is very important to clarify exactly what we are talking about in these instances. There is a bit of history regarding these issues, so we should be careful in stating what our claims actually are.
