Why are black people generally better at running than white people? Anyone offer a reason?

Yeah, that's all it's due to. Genetic makeup. Nothing else to it.

But pitching Woody Harrelson against Wesley Snipes is like pitting Stephen Hawking against Michael Jordan. At basketball, not maths.

I don't think that's racist though, just an observation. Although all it is missing is the punchline. I think the inheritence of some kind of hunting gene is a good suggestion, and the climate in Asia and Africa probably helps the Human body cope with that kind of extreme tension on the muscles and stuff, what with all the heat and stuff. And stuff.

More important question though: can Hawking play defence?

The USA are not far behind (According to 'The Sun').

It's not racist to note differences between the various races. It's only racist if you use these differences as a way to discriminate against those races in a negative way.

It's only like me noting that most oriental people are, as far as averages go, shorter in height than other races.

It wasn't racist, it was my naive thoughts as a child. Surely you could have accepted that and not go all pc.
Doesn't matter though anyway.
