i think it is a little naive to say "all people are created equal" because they are clearly not. I am not trying to make a racist statement - just pointing out that physiologically people are adapted to their evironments, climates etc. if that were not true then all people would be identical physiologically and of course, genetically.
unless you want to argue that the average Japanese person is no different than the average Kenyan - then you cannot possibly argue that all people are "equal"... meaning the utopianistic sense of the word meaning we are all of equal intelligence, physiology and mental ability.
if you cant support the arguement that the average Japanese is no different than the average Kenyan... then why is it wrong to assume that it may be possible due to a number of factors that the average Kenyan might be a better runner? if that may be true... then why is it wrong to assume that one may be more likely to be a better dancer, a better rapper or a better electronic engineer building robots the size of pin heads?
i dont think it is a racist statement to say that on the whole black people in the US may be better dancers than Caucasions. you can look at most sports and there seems to be a disproportionate number of blacks to whites. excluding cultural influences/factors (i.e. more whites tend to gravitate towards hockey than blacks) then there would be equal representation of all races in any sport.
all i know is that when i bet on boxing... i NEVER bet on the white guy.
