American preconception. Black Americans definitely are overrepresented in many American sports, but not all. If one looks at world sports, Whites are overrepresented in the world. Black Africans dominate almost none. Based on those observations, I'd say that priority, diet, training, and opportunity are why we see what people are represented in what sports.
Race is also largely social construct. Is Tiger Woods really black? I guess it goes back to the 1/8 blood rule from slave days. He's biologically just as "white" as he is "black". He's more "Asian" than both. But in our view, he's "Black" because our cultures tells us he is.
