So Jamil said I was racist after I posted on his thread about his athleticism saying

Now we all should know that racism is in its most common form: Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior.
So first i'd like to point out that what I said was in no shape or form negative. I am a very logical person. I don't care about fiction. I look at science, and science only.
Here is a quote from Taboo " We are unlocking the mystery of genes, the sequence of DNA on a chromosome that forms the molecular basis for heredity. Geneticists are rushing to complete a map of the three billion base pairs of the human genetic code, in effect reconstructing the path of human development. We may not yet be able to definitively deconstruct the relationship of nature to nurture, but we are refining our questions. The coming revolution of our understanding of human nature and behavior will be as profound as the discovery by Copernicus that the earth circles the sun.
For the first time in history science promises a glimpse of how the world's different populations—popularly called races—have evolved. Think of genes as the frame of a house: they determine the shape and set limits, but much of the important stuff gets added over time. Complex phenomena such as intelligence, sociability, and creativity are difficult to dissect without resorting to huge generalizations. Within the performance range in which most of us fall, the Success will always remain a mysterious brew. But we are certainly closer than ever to unraveling the enigmatic forces, biological and social, that shape great athletes, gifted musicians, or top scholars. environment may be critical. But when we talk about people such as Einstein and Mozart—or Mark McGwire, Jim Brown, and Péle—genes count a lot."
Now onto the environemental effects on genetics "One of the reasons for the latter fact [Black People are weak swimmers] is that black people have denser skeletons and lower levels of body fat, a physical trait inherited from the tropical areas of Africa."
"According to Jon Entine a huge amount of research show that elite black athletes have a phenotypic advantage. They have bodily characteristics that evolved over tens of thousands of years of evolution. While people of African descent have spent most of their evolutionary history near to where they originated, the rest of the world’s populations have had to modify their African adaptations after migrating to far different regions and climates."
So yes, I do think being able to dunk has a lot to do with evolution. And yes, since someone is black(due to there heredity), it is pretty normal to have significant advantages in jumping and sprinting over others.
Consider me racist, whatever. Just tell me why. Cause, logically, I don't see it.
