Black-white*performance gap

Can a black-white*performance gap be hereditary but not racial? - By William Saletan - Slate Magazine

Quote:

    Anthropometric measurements of large populations show that systematic differences exist among blacks, whites and Asians. The published evidence is massive: blacks have longer limbs than whites, and because blacks have longer legs and smaller circumferences (e.g. calves and arms), their center of mass is higher than that in other individuals of the same height. Asians and whites have longer torsos, therefore their centers of mass are lower.

These structural differences, they argue, generate differences in performance. Using equations about the physics of locomotion, they analyze racing as a process of falling forward. Based on this analysis, they conclude that having a higher center of body mass in a standing position is advantageous in running but disadvantageous in swimming.

“Blacks, whites and Asians”, really? I guess “Niggers, crackers and chinks” didn't sound scientific enough?

is that the same article where the author had to apologise when he was later informed that he refered to the work of a known crackpot/white nationalist professor?

Aren't they talking about race differences?  So the non existance of race differnces is shown by race differences.  WOw just wow.
