Now, I don't know if you're talking litterally, scientifically or slang like. Although, seeing as you put it under basketball, it would most likely be refering to the slang term "white boy can't jump". I'm not sure why, but this probally developed from the NBA, it being mostly composed of Africans. Now we see all these basketball players dunking it, and when it comes to the white guy's turn he probally failed, hence "white boy can't jump". All it is really, is a saying like "get off the court" or "rejected", it's just something insulting to showoff or put-down, usually it's all in good fun.

Because white people dont have a very high percentage of fast- twitch muscles in their body or legs which help a lot with jumping. . East African black men cant jump either because they have mostly slow twitch muscles for long distance running.

Not all black people can jump. I am from Australia and the aboriginals here can't jump. They can run fast though
