Just relax. Nobody has said anything racist. You're just freaking out!

And you're still making the same mistake I talked about in my first post. Nobody is saying that every member of every race has the same athletic (or any other) ability. Nobody is saying that the next best cyclist is sure to be European, American, or African.

We're all talking about averages and probabilities here. As a whole, men are taller than women. This doesn't mean that every man is taller than every woman. Nobody is going to make that stupid of a mistake. Nobody knows who the next great cyclist will be. He could be of any race imaginable. Usually the top athletes are freaks of nature in any culture.

What we're saying is that if a certain race is prone to a certain body type and that body type is well-suited for a particular sport, then on average that race is going to be better at that sport than the other races who don't have that body type. You can't deny that certain different races, on average, have different body types than certain other races.
