There is nothing contradictory. Making sweeping statements about a race is totally different from judging an individual based on those general statements.

Americans of Hispanic decent are still shorter than Non-hispanics. And I don't really care about the cause of the difference. All I am stating is that there is a difference based on race. I am sure there is probably some environmental reason that African Americans developed a higher percentage of fast twitch muscle fiber, but that does not mean the difference does not exist.

As a group they are. On average they have a higher percentage of high twitch muscle fiber. But if a white guy and a black guy are racing I have no idea who will win because I can not make individual judgements based on traits of a group.
