Hey, what's this all about??
We can find group differences if we look, but are they important enough to
discuss? My 16 year old who is mostly European DNA happens to be vying for top
sprinter in the state ....... and if we find group differences do we have to
use the word superiority?
And of course our attitude in these matters is important. Because of my
religious background I meet people from Ethiopia, one a friend who works in law
enforcement and every year must pass physical milestones including a lengthy
run. He's late 30s at least and the other officers who are younger joke about
his getting long in the tooth .. but as he whispered to me with a grin "They
forget I am Ethiopian!" . He blows them off the track every year.
Seriously, Michael's post - perhaps meant to stir up a little action? - belies
a serious psychology teaching point - how we discuss group differences. It's
easy doing it when the differences are transient. I suggest we approach such
matters with the attitude of my friend, and, the lack the "superiority" label
... as I am writing this I have the NYTimes article on Oskar Gröning's trial in
another window ...

Subject: [tips] Black superiority in
running.
By observation and consensus.blacks are superior
in atheletic and other running events.The Boston marathon has been won by
individuals with predominant Afican- derivative genome.
There was a time when whitey dominated
short distance running breaking records
ifor the mile run-Roger Bannister of England,
John Lundy of Australia,and Jim Ryan of Kansas;
then came along black dudes like Kip Keino of Kenya
, Bolt of Jamaica.
