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.
The whole argument that there is no such thing as race just sounds a little silly to me.
There are scientific studies that claim to show that African Americans on average have a higher percentage of fast twitch muscle fiber. What exactly is your position on those studies? Are you saying they are not true? Are you saying there is no such thing as "different races"?
How can you disagree with comments "based on race" and also say there is no such thing as different races?
