Same about a Somali in Somalia; she ain't that much like a Zulu lady out of South Africa even tho both are "Black".

This is true...I think its more about culture than race. Different cultures emphasize different values which lead to differences elsewhere.

Yes, but I still contend that cultural learning can get you a long way. I'm not a biological determinist.

solving complex issues aren't relegated to race. IMO

Look up Dafne Schippers. She's a fast white girl. Lol

That's very simple minded way of looking at it.

What do you say people who are against policies that forced certain quota. There has to be X number of blacks at Google, or there has to be X number of Asians at NFL, or there has to be X number of whites at Department of Energy, etc.

[desertdetroiter]

Yeah.

There are.

East African runners live in extremely high altitudes.

If they lived in Nigeria, they wouldn't be nearly as good.

How do you feel about policies that forced certain quota, such as there has to be X number of blacks at Google, or there has to be X number of Asians at NFL, or there has to be X number of whites at Department of Energy, there has to be X percentage of Hispanics at Stanford, etc.

No they don't.

There probably are, does it matter to me? NO. What does matter is racial divides and people refusing to assimilate as Americans based upon race and or heritage.
