Why are black people so much better at running than white people?

GayGuevara [Edit] [Delete] 15:09, 10 August '12

When watching the Olympics with my girlfriend recently I commented that the runners that win (in bother men's and women's races) are *all* black. Exclusively.

She called me racist. But then last night the BBC did a little piece about this very subject before the 200m final, which legitimised the racism. Apparently, there's only one white guy that's ever run the 100m in under 10 seconds.

The BBC piece said that scientists have done studies into this, and there is pretty much no differences physically between white people and black people. It did say that black were more likely to have a gene or something like that that appears less often in white people that may make black people run faster, but they said that it *does* also occur in whities (just less of them) - can't remember what it was called though.

So, why can't honkies run very fast?

Hmmm, interesting...
