Do you have those same advantages in Sudan? Or Saudi Arabia? Or China?
Do blacks have any greater advantage in physical sports because of their evolutionary adaptation to the harsh African environment? Aren't the "races" relatively inseparable from the environment/geographic region they come from in and have developed different advantages for different environments?
And beside all that, is there advantage to having a denser bone structure vs lower center of gravity? Is there any objective difference between the sexes that give real physical advantages in both directions for different things? Might DNA itself be differentiating the sexes for different specializations and reproductive strategy?
I never felt the need to be sorry for the things I am born as, that I had no choice in being. I've also never felt the need to be proud of them, of things I didn't accomplish. But that's just me.
