You are a very, very silly person.
Agreed. With a lot of other sports, I am willing to accept that racial disparities are in large part the result of non-genetic factors. But sprinting? No way. The disparity is just too striking and too international.
Hate to interrupt your love affair with that term, but evidence does not become overwhelming simply by repeating the phrase “overwhelming evidence” like some kind of incantation. The one thing we do have overwhelming evidence for is your overwhelming fear and loathing toward black people, upon which foundation your entire pseudoscientific outhouse of cards is shakily built.
What gave birth to that is less clear. Maybe you invited Becky Sue to the prom but she went with Deondre instead. Maybe your suburban breakdance troupe got mightily served by the inner city kids and it still stings in your perianal region. Maybe the only thing that gets your dinkie perpendicular is monster black cock Mandingo cuckold porn, and this pathetic crusade is the only way you know how to sublimate your shame.
In the end it doesn’t really matter exactly what your personal problems are; it’s just good that you have a place to work them out among your friends and peers. Baby steps, Zilly.
You missed this exchange:
This question would really come after the genes are found, if they were found in different relative abundances in different populations. If such a “plausible reason” was found now (before there’s any actual evidence for the genetic explanation), it would provide nothing as far as evidence goes.

Well, John Mace, you can see that the Brazil nut is, well, nuts.
It does not matter if his selective ignore “feature” is tripping him, he is correct because he put any contradiction on ignore. :rolleyes:
Actually, I played CB throughout high school, and some touch leagues in and after college, so I know a little something about it. Are you aware that they also call WR, CB, and Safety the speed positions? I wonder why. And no, no one is arguing that all you need for those positions is speed, so you can put that straw man back in your attic.
I did notice how you ignored the example about sprinting, and how you ignored the hypothetical posed to you. Given your desire to stay epoxied to your position no matter what, those were wise decisions indeed.
It’s not my responsibility to go hunting for additional posts made by someone in order to tease out some additional meaning from his posts.
Belowjob2.0 responded to a post I made which was written in response to Fothingray-Phipps. I read his response and interpreted it reasonably. If he made some different argument somewhere else, he is free to raise it with me directly.
Coming from a guy supporting an evidence-free hypothesis, this is comical. Re-stating the question doesn’t count as evidence. A hypothesis is the beginning of scientific inquiry, not the end.
It most certainly is if you’re going to accuse me of not following the discussion and lying about what others posted.
So, to be clear, is it your position that genetics plays no role when it comes to the world’s fastest humans, and that there does not appear to be an extremely high correlation between the world’s fattest sprinters and West African descent, regardless of where they live and have been raised?
And you may want to look up the word “evidence”. It doesn’t mean what you apparently think it means.
Of course genetics is involved (with individuals), but it’s my position that there’s no evidence that different genetics between populations/ethnicities/races is the best explanation for any apparent “domination” (at the very highest levels) of certain sports by any particular ethnicity.
Well, of course there is evidence. A better point is that there is not conclusive evidence.
Fat sprinting sounds like a great new sport. I wonder if there would be any genetic component.
No it is not, since you are accusing me of making up an argument and attributing it to Belowjob2.0. I clearly made nothing up. Nor did I bring up an argument “from out of the blue” as you have claimed.
Do you have any more lies you want to tell? Or is that pretty much it?
I don’t think there’s evidence for the genetic explanation for different sports outcomes between ethnicities. Sure, there’s evidence that the top sprinters are more likely to be black, but that’s not evidence for anything about genetics.
Here’s how the sequence goes in science (for this question or the intelligence one, or any other)- a difference in test-scores, or sprinting times, is noted between populations/ethnicities. Hypotheses are made about what the best explanation is for these differences. Some have hypothesized a cultural explanation, and others have hypothesized a genetic explanation. But for the genetic hypothesis, it’s gone no further, and yet proponents claim that the different times alone (or the different test-scores, alone) counts as evidence for the genetic explanation. No, that’s just re-stating the question that an answer is sought for.
So, if the fastest 25 people in the world all hare West African, regardless of where they were raised, how do you account for that? Chance?
How about if it was the fastest 50? or 100? At what point do you think it likely that genetics are at least partially responsible?
Exactly. It appears that iiandyiiii thinks “evidence” means “proof”.
We’ve done this before. How many of those guys have european (or native American) ancestry? Certainly most, probably all. You’ve raised a question, and made a hypothesis- and that’s it. You’ve gone no further. And really- if you think West African genes are the best for sprinting, wouldn’t you think that at least more than one or two of the best sprinters might come from the part of the planet with the most and densest collection of West African genes, like, I don’t know, West Africa?
How do I account for it? If I wanted to, I’d actually do science. That starts with making a hypothesis, but there’s quite a bit more involved. Science is hard.
Wrong- there’s actually no evidence for the genetic explanation.
Maybe it’s stereotype threat. If Chinese sprinters would only start believing that they can run faster, they would crack the top 25 no problem.
