It is different, I agree, but it's still racist behavior. Applying characteristics in such a general way based on race is racism, especially since there are no genetic markers for race. So even talking about "African Americans having more fast-twitch muscles" is wading into racist waters. That is a genetic trait and cannot definitively be tied to race.
