In a nutshell
"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."
Jimmy the Greek was ran out of town and his career from saying this decades ago.
If you really want to get run out of town, take a look at the scientific literature on sperm count differentials between the races and between different primate species (gibbons, mate for life, tiny balls and low sperm counts; chimpanzees, so incredibly promiscuous that Jane Goodall herself can't tell who the father of a baby chimp is without DNA analysis, huge testicles and sperm counts.)
For what it's worth, my own sperm count was tested (for an article on sperm banking) at 965,000,000 per solitary ejaculation--almost enough to reproduce China at one take (though it is hard for even me to believe that 965,000,000 Chinese women would have me.)
I used to take a certain cocky pride in this until I learned that it is most likely evidence of an incredibly serpentine ancestry of cuckholdry and infidelity and scoundrelhood in my genetic line.
Note to censors and monitors: this is perfectly acceptable discussion fodder for a swimming forum. If you were to look under the microscope at the Fairfax Cryobank and see what I saw, it was like the world's largest 8 and under (hours) swimming practice pandemonium you ever did done see in your whole born life!
Swim on, little swimmers! Even you two-tailed gimps that seem capable of only shilly shallying in circles.
Which, when you think about it, is pretty must what most of us do, too.
