Quote:Now who's being ideological? Here we see exactly the type of oversimplification for which you were berating me earlier. It's not as simple as 'nature vs nurture', there's a complicity of factors which include both genetics and sociological pressures. That you dismiss the sociological because it disagrees with your politics is one of the reasons why you don't see the perpetuation of institutionalised discrimination. That blindness is also one of the mechanisms by which discrimination is perpetuated.No I disagree because it is not based on any research at all but is 'surmised' by sociologists so it fits in with their ideology. It is not inductive but deductive. The Nature bit massively outweighs the nurture bit when it comes to pure power sports like sprinting. If developing skill is involved then obviously more cultural influences take place since you have to be in a position to develop the skills from an early age. In no way whatsoever can the predominance of West African Ancestored sprinters be cultural.
However you gave the reason above as cultural,you didn't mention genetics at all. That's the trouble with 'anti racists' they try and quash anyone bringing genetic factors into the equation-like those arseholes Rose, Lewontin and Kramer who's 'science for the people' force marxism onto science -with disasterous consequences.
