Why cant white men jump? Serious answers only.?

Question

OK white men CAN jump, but ON AVERAGE not as high as African Americans. I want to see if any biology people out there can get the right answer.

Answer 1

I believe it has to do with evolution. Individual differences have to do with the fact that we are all from radically different climates and ecologies. Different racial groups evolved and adaptated in ways that helped them to survive. it is only natural that intelligence and physical attributes are distributed due to the drastically varying environments.

Answer 2

Statistically speaking, Africans show the greatest diversity of height, from the short !Kung people to the tall Bantu. Needless to say, the basketball players who descend from Africa are descended from people more like the Bantu.

This is different from the recent crop of Chinese basketball players, most of which have acromegaly, unnatural height that is related to tumors of the pituitary gland.

Answer 3

This is a black vs white question. So, I'm going to try to answer this without sounding racist. People are living things, and living things evolve what they need to survive. Europeans (white people) needed to use their brains more to develop traps and think about how to catch food because it's more difficult to catch animals where it's cold. In Africa, it's always hot and there are always plenty of animals running around. You don't need to think as much, you just need to run after them. So, whites developed more intellectually, and blacks developed more physically.

Answer 4

African people have more muscle tissue than other race.
Hence, they can develop muscle easily, have better physical ability, and better sportsmen.

Answer 6

Sheer laziness. Same reason the average black man steals everything, and deals drugs, and the average Hispanic does nothing but sit around collecting welfare.
