Why don't the different races do equally well at marathon running?

Omg you never stop providing us with your ignoranve. Mo farah was raised in the UK.... I smell bull****.

read and come back with an education.

The pursuit of equality is the highest virtue, yet black people consistently dominate at the top of marathon running. All races are equal, so this is evidence of systematic racism, just like the racism which leads to whites dominating economically.

How can we stop the structural discrimination and social construct that leads to blacks dominating marathons? How can we have fairer representation across the races and reduce inequality?

Some countries have introduced quotas and affirmative action for boardrooms and politics to give women the help they need to reach the top. We tax the rich more to distribute wealth more evenly. The National Union of Students has recently introduced gender quotas to shoehorn more women into the NUS.

Could we introduce something similar to ensure fairer representation of whites and asians in marathons?

Perhaps we could require 40% of the top 10 finishers to be non-black? If blacks were going to come 7-10th they would need to stop and wait for some whites or asians to go past. Because, equality.

Or perhaps we could give non-blacks a head start, like they do for women in the LA Marathon?

What are your ideas for making marathon running more equal and fair? Or are you a racist that thinks different races have different ability levels?

Can you please point out why this makes me racist? Michael Jordan himself was the one who got everyone talking about this theory again.

You can't just cover up slavery, it is a major part of human history. Having an open dialogue about it is in no way racist.

Micheal jordan was not the cleverist of people... Talking about slave trade is not racist but your suggestion that black people were breed like horses to form super humans is racist. Slavers when buying slaves checked teeth , associated it with health, and muscle mass. What would a slaver need a fast slave for... Ill believe you when you find a source which says slaves were bought based on speed.

You really don't understand how genetics work do you?

Being raised in the UK doesn't mean your genes magically change to UK genes!

Slavers historically picked the best slaves to breed with other best slaves. Its just a fact. And biologically that is called selective breeding.

Well that is because they are genetically adapted for that due to the conditions in that part of the world love.

sorry lovey but this is absolute rubbish .
its got nothing to do with slavery . Its called hard work

Yes however you suggested the critea was based on speed yet there is no prood to back this up. West african sprinters still dominate other races in sprinting. Only reason americans dominate west africans is due to facilities and carribeans domminate due to sprinting culture. Your suggestion that Black sprinter are only dominate due to breeding is false.

Somalis and East Africans in general were never enslaved and they're still better at long distance than you lot. I smell bull****.

My bad misread what you wrote thought you were the one bashing on about altitude when in fact it do to muscle fibres which comes from lifestyle survival of fitest ect..

What a lame attempt at being condescending.
Genes don't alter through generations that quickly, so why can't it be reasonably assumed that US/UK black athletes are also genetically gifted like East Africans? See, I think you're bringing up the slavery argument to justify the white British/USA's inadequacy when it comes to running.

By that logic if I worked hard enough I could run faster than Usain Bolt. At the elite level, genetics becomes and important factor in deciding who can be a second faster or not. Obviously hard work is a part of it, but genetics are important as well in elite level sport.

It's not hard work! You think that's why the majority of runners are black? If anything, it's because their bodies and genes are built better for that purpose.

Yes for the most part we are better runners because we obviously train harder why is that so hard to grasp ? Heres an example ,a footballer who is playing in the premier league is going to be a better than a footballer playing in league 1 because he trains harder and for longer
