why must race being interjected into everything. We are all members of the human race. We are divided and bicker amongst ourselves like fools.

Think too much.
Exactly. Sports is about winning, not championing social issues.

How do you know some of the swimmers aren't homosexuals?

The best swimmers tend to be tall and thin with long arms, long legs, long feet, and long hands. The size of their hands gives them great "water grasp", and only a very small hand movement keeps them afloat.


I am 5'7", as a female swimmer, I am the average height.
Sounds like many basketball players. The reason there are few blacks is that they do not grow up swimming. There are no pools in the backyard or schools, no money for competitive team memberships etc. As the black percentage in suburbia increases we will see more and more of them in the few remaining sports dominated by whites just as we are in gymnastics and even ballet these days.

Diversity doesn't matter when you're playing to win. Nobody gets a trophy for just showing up. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

Why are you bringing this up? I'm not even thinking about that.
