So Mr. Carlos, where do you draw the line between being of color and not being of color. Think about it?

Jeez. This thread's got off track.
For Carlos, try reading something like Stephen J. Gould's The Mismeasure of Man. While Gould doesn't deal with athletics and 'race', he does talk at length about intelligence and 'race'.
And there's a huge body of work that argues that 'race' is a social construct. See writers ranging from Bell Hooks to Dionne Brand.
I could spend more time on this topic but, frankly, your argument up to this point is weak and unconvincing, and smells something awful.

agreed carlos is an idiot.
one of the best tests for athletisism is the triathalon, and the last time i checked, there has never been a black champion.
how many black weight-lifters are there?
baseball is evenly split
Hockey is dominated by europeans and their desendantsbasketball is starting to be dominated by europeans as well, take a look at the 2002 world championships:
1.Yugoslavia
2.Argentina
3. germany
4. new zealand
5. Spain
6. USA-made up predominatly of black playersand the list goes on from boxing to track and field, ethnicity and colour have nothing to do with athletic performance and success.

If you Look up the history of boxing you'll find that it was real bloody, evil, and racist. Black fighters were brought into the ring by the U.S to fight the british champions of the time which were all white. The black fighters were taller, stronger and had more endurance and tougher skin.
The fighter Jack
"papa jack"Johnson was brought into the ring to fight the brit champion Jim Jeffries.
The fight was a Farce. Johnson totally dominated, but the antics that went on in the ring was comedy. Punters were diveing onto Johnson off the ropes trying to stop him from winning rounds.Anyway my point is black Boxers are the stronger its a fact that was noticed a long time ago with the start with papa jack, then the likes of Jo lewis who was Owned by the mafia. Ali was the first to break away.
