in the olympic games, the chinese have won the most number of gold medals then any other country in this world.
as for africa, they didnt win much as a contitent! china, korea have just 2 countrys have won more medals then any black african country. im sorry if is soud racist, but im kinda tired of hearing that blacks are better at sports then asians etc...


Pakistan, also did not win a single medal, but who cares, we arent known as athletic anyways!
if black people are so good at sports, then why didnt they win more medals then china?

also, most black people live in africa, where they are un-athletic, poor, malnutritioned, short etc... so why would black people be athletic, if most blacks (africa) are poor?
 
Because the ones who say that are mostly Americans. In America many great athletes of Black descent dominate sports like basketball, football, baseball, and etc.

Yet if we look at the whole picture like the Olympics, it shows that everyone is equally capable no matter their race. China won the most gold medals and almost everyone in their team is Han Chinese. Does that mean Hans are superior in sports? Nope. Also it depends on the person and what activity or sport they are good at.

So yeah it depends on environment, in America of course you will get many who see it this way.
 
The most popular sports like track n field, basketball are run by blacks. Asians are good at many other sports though like weightlifting...
 
Most of the sports, that I watch, have more blacks than any other ethnic group. At least as far as I recall.

Anyway, some of my friends and I were discussing a similar topic yesterday. My take is that while many of us whites are sitting inside, with the AC, playing video games and such, most of the people we see outside playing ball happen to be black. Now, when I was growing up, we were too poor to have video games and stuff like that. So, if we wanted entertainment, we had to go outside and play. We mainly played football and baseball. As I got older, I added tennis and backpacking.

I personally feel that as a group, blacks are more athletic than any other ethnic group. But, I'm just referring to the people I see in my own little corner of the world.

I hope I did not offend anyone.
 
The olympics don't mean jack. Micheal Phelps won a bunch of medals for basically doing the same thing with a different number of laps lol.

As for who's better, who cares.
 
It's just a stereotype. Not all Black people are good at sport, but the majority are. It's just a matter of opinion, like how people stereotype Asians as smart academically. But you have to agree that there's a dept of truth to every stereoype.
 
China won in the sports like gymnastics and diving and their bodies are made for that. Plus there are so many chinese people most people in the world are chinese!!! When was the last time you saw an asian win in a race..... never!!!! sorry if you are a sore loser.
 
I have to object to the user " yeah " about africans are good at long distance running. It is not becaue they are black, its becuase the georgraphical location of kenya where oxygen is less. They are trained everyday in the less oxygen supplied region, thus when they go to flat-land countris for international touirnament where the oxygen are abundant, they do much bettet than other people and than when they were in kenya

In china, many long distant running athletes have already caught people's attention, especially the women athletes. They are all trained in the highland where oxygen are less.

There are some sports that blacks are good at based on the muscle cells characteristics, such as the sports that require explosive power that generates in real short time ( eg. 50 or 100 meters track n field ), and jumping like basket balls etc, while for the sports requires speed of reaction ( table tennis ) and balance ( gymnastics ) etc , asians have this brain cells to work better on them.
 
Exactly, sports has everything to do with previous training, and natural talent. By in large in the US; afriacn Americans have years of sports training behind them, where as asians are not noticed as much. Over time a sterotype develops whereas blacks are considered to be more athletic than asians, even though there are 4 times more chances to see them playing sports, b/c there are 4 times as many asians as blacks in this country.
 
It's true, for the most part.

African americans are good at a lot of sports.. and africans are good at long distance running
 
Their referring to African Americans who are more athletic... i gotta admit Asians can play a mean game of table tennis and ping pong. Also remember that theirs 1.3 Billion Chinese if .5% of them were Athletic that's still 65 Million people to choose from..
