    I had a teach who tried to explain why blacks and whites excelled in different sports. Now, this is not always the case, but appears to be the case frequently. His theory was that it all relates to centuries of physcial development. Blacks obviously come from Africa where most of the travel was on foot. Much of it running. Thus Africans bodies develpoed to assist in walking and running. I don't remember the names of the bones and muscles, but the bodies of African and African-Americans are built to walk and run and jump. The European bodies are not. Who frequently wins marathon races? The development of the African body does not lend itself to swimming or other water sports. Now this doesn't mean a white cannot run and jump or that a black can't swim.
