The Single Most Amazing Number in Human Biodiversity Studies: 72, by Steve Sailer.
[T[he single favorite event at the Olympics among the public … is track and field’s 100 meter dash.
This Olympic’s race to find the World’s Fastest Man was won for the third time in a row by Jamaica’s giant goofball Usain Bolt. …
The New Yorker recently inquired “How Fast Would Usain Bolt Run the Mile?“, only to find out according to his agent that “Usain has never run a mile.” …
From the God-Given-Differences Department:
The most striking statistic in human biodiversity studies … [is] that in both the 1984 and 1988 Olympics, all eight finalists each time in the men’s 100 meter sprints were black. When you considered that people of substantial sub-Saharan descent only make up a modest fraction of the world’s population, then 16 out of 16 was extraordinary. …
Rio now represents the 9th consecutive Olympics in which all 8 finalists in the men’s 100 meter dash were black. That’s 72 in a row.
I don’t think 72 out of 72 can be fully explained away as a social construct.
A commenter adds:
Don’t worry – the lefties will still argue that black is white – quite literally – right up to the day you die. Really, it’s a religious cultist thing with them – rationality goes out of the window.
Also expect them to persist in calling you nasty names merely for mentioning it, right up to the day you die.
Commenter Polynikes:
Let’s say it is a social construct, for arguments sake. What does it say about your society that it is constructed so that it exports sprinters instead of mathematicians or computers?
