Absolutely. And not just between different races but within subsets of each race too. There are REASONS people are strong, analytical, fast and talented. There is really nothing that unifying about race when you consider it, since pigment is superficial to a degree and most of use here today are not "pure" anything. Who knows what traits exist in anyone until it shows itself and wouldn't it be cool to discover WHY?

There are differences in averages between any two groups of people. Doesn't even have to be between races. There are differences between northern Chinese and southern Chinese, between Germans and Greeks, and between Somalis and Zulus.

All individuals are different, so it only follows that groups will be different from one another, since groups are just collections of individuals.

Of course. The NFL isn't 68% black because of affirmative action quotas, it's because they're better at those jobs. NFL, and NBA, owners aren't going to pay millions of dollars to people who aren't the best at their job regardless of race.

Don't dare say the same thing about the demographics of computer programmers though, that would be racist.

Do you believe this subject has been beaten to death. My god, people are enjoying their time in the spotlight. Life is NOT all about skin color, get over it if you have an issue.
