Dude talking about muscle fibers is spot on. I took physiology courses in college and we discussed this. Genetically speaking, people of western/central African origin generally have a higher percentage of fast-twitch muscle fibers and lower percentage of slow-twitch, while the opposite is true for people of European origin. The fast twitch fibers are more explosive whereas the slow twitch are more optimal to allow the muscle to have longer endurance.
I can't speak to differences in muscle makeup, but I can speak about body types, specifically skeletal structure.
Body type is an extremely important variable to consider.
Broad shoulders, long torso, and shorter legs give people of that body type an advantage in swimming. However, that body type is a disadvantage in running. The reverse body type, longer legs, shorter torso, and narrow shoulders are an advantage in running but are a disadvantage in swimming.
The sociology aspect is a large variable to consider a person's success in a particular sport. However, body type is just as important, if not more important, to determining an athletes potential in a particular event.
These black kids have taken on this victim mentality to their hearts , sad they think its all about money and white privlage its just more zionist media division .
@@zackabides8270 which people do you think have that long torso and short legs that are good in swimming and bad in running?
Then why do Kenyans win all the marathons?
@@sullivanbiddle9979 Kenya is not "western/central African", it's in the East.
I love how the white girls are acting all uninterested but are the first ones to jump on a black man when he gets drafted
@Reina De corazones ur funny
@Reina De corazones oh you're so corny
8 seconds
valley Girl facts 💯
valley Girl i love how you have a white girl as your profile pic but you're talking shit about them... Haha, also black men are obsessed with white women, so please, keep your ignorant comment to yourself.
was the white man trying to play devils advocate with some of his points? because he sounded very sarcastic and condescending at times.
I feel like the teacher is slightly narrow minded or biased, he doesn't seem to accept the ideas of his students much, he said "no" so many times, while they were making kinda legit points...
MissGourmandefr agree
Hes playing devils advocate to get to kids to think about why they think something. He is being intentionally belligerent.
Facts
@@darylallen2485 then shouldn’t he ask why? Instead of just saying no?
This lecturer needs a little self-control. His insecurities and biases are showing.
exactly
He's horrible
Definitely thought I was tripping
I feel he was just playing the devil's advocate.
I felt he was playing devils advocate, but you can tell he's trying to steer the conversation a certain way.
I can smell insecuriority complex on lecturer/professor
OG K I agree. I feel like he was purposely disagreeing with the two guys
On GOD!
i just smell his lies and tactics to make everyone feel goo.
@@paulak.marais642 I've watched his other videos he doesn't do that with other students. He tells them good job, high fiving, telling them he's gonna set up them up in relationships
I think culture also partly contributes to the reason that you rarely see East Asians participating in athletics. If you're a young Asian kid, you're constantly being hammered by your parents to spend every waking hour studying, and everything else outside of that goes out the window. Even if you're interesting in playing a particular sport, you won't necessarily receive active encouragement to excel at it because academics always comes first.
@Ra, The Sun Of God wut XD
You're just talking about Asian Americans I think. Asians live all over the world... And they're interested in sports. However you still don't see many great Chinese sprinters but you see great table tennis players...
@Ra, The Sun Of God genetic???😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
yggh yh bgf true they also have a much bigger population. China is the most populated country in the world! That means there’s a greater chance to get the creme of the crop.
@Urban Substance Exactly, Asians may improve in athletics but they wont be able to dominate no matter what nutrition and training regimen they go through. Asians are not the most genetically gifted in terms of physicality but they are no doubt gifted in their intellectual or mental capabilities.
Am I wrong but this guy didn't want to hear what the football player was telling him he just kept on cutting him off ??
I so agree!
400 year of running, ducking and dodging yea . We’re gonna develop some abilities
You don't know your history if you think that, you have ancestors...
Exactly any my ancestors were running, Ducking and dodging Caucasians , Their Masters
There's some truth to that.
@@nilezcole4012 Wayde Van Niekerk is the world record holder in the 400 metres. He's African.
I remember Michael Johnson doing a documentary on this about 13 years ago. Where he attributed it to slavery and selective breeding. He swore no Africans would break the short distances. Wayde Van Niekerk smashed Johnson's time.
@@SuperMuneera Maybe Johnson didn't know they had slavery in South Africa too!
The teacher kept cutting them off, rather than listening. Race had nothing to do with the sports.. seems like the teacher was trying to get them to respond differently than what they were trying to explain.
White indoctrination!!!. This is a Microcosmic precept of what goes on in the Caucasians subconscious/conscious in relation to black people. They don't know why black people are overall better in athletics than all the other races so they're trying to think of irrational ways to justify their views. They even have the audacity to bring in two young Black men to try and justify why black people are overall better athletes. Unfortunately these young men aren't informed enough to refute and debunk the claims made against them.
Blacks don't realize this.... White people have a very perverted infactuation with them. They're in "awe" with blacks meaning they love and hate you at the same time. It's that love/hate paradigm that leads these circular race debates and arguments TO NO WHERE!.
It's hard to believe out of that congregation of students ( which I'm sure there's a handful of black students) didn't stand up to the so called lecturer to refute his claims and actually interact in a rational debate using Empirical data, REAL history, biological concepts and context. Even with these factors it's important we be truthful to the best of our ability because Lies upon lies will won't get us anywhere!.
Tania and Ahmad lmao more like the black Students cutting the teacher off lmao
Ace Shadowins not what I see
Then why are all fast sprinters black?
Why are almost all long distance runners lanky East Africans.
Tania and Ahmad Race had nothing to do with the sports!...Really?! Answer two questions: firstly, doesn't race affect the body shape? Secondly, doesn't body shape affect your performance in sports? It is obvious that body shape affects your sports results and it is obvious that race has an influence on what body shape you gonna be!
Kids are going into college debt for this?
Exactly. What questions will the rectruiter ask in their job interview? Do you know who runs faster, Blacks or Chinese?
What a piece of crap. I listened for 4 minutes, and then I couldn't take it anymore.
This can be very useful for people getting into politics, marketing, and various other socially oriented roles.
Imagine getting a degree for classes like these loool
Yall are dumb lol. The lesson isnt "who runs faster"
The lesson is " why do people think and believe these things? How do social constructs affect our society? How are human interactions and policies being affected by cultural and racial beliefs? What is a good way to move forward with these conversations?"
And yes these degrees are important for multiple different career paths. Might wanna do some self educating if you think sociology is useless in a civilized society.
To me in this particular video it was like the teacher wanted them to say some racist stuff as if what they were saying wont their truth
It appeared to me that he was challenging their thought processes to make sure it, and they, held up under scrutiny. "Your truth" doesn't mean very much if you can't back it up with logic, so he challenged it like any decent instructor should.
@@Acoto they did way better than I would've, because I would've told his jealous ass str8 up; there's more black athletes because we're stronger, we're the original people, white people are all products of genetic mutations, etc. They would've hated me because I would've stated nothing but the truth
@@yudahel8521 Righhhhhhhhhht..... good luck with all that dude lol.
@@yudahel8521 it’s not like white ppl dominate, soccer, baseball, hockey, tennis, golf, volleyball, all winter sports, swimming rugby. Ect. And we have the strongest men alive. Brian shaw, Eddie hall ect. I’m not gonna let u just shut on my race even tho your not correct.
Su Bingtian: Hold my record.
Maybe we should have quotas in athletes, just like we do for jobs. This would improve diversity in sorts.
Based on Black American culture, from my view it relates to the idea of most people in society wanting wealth and success.
Most African-americans who aren't from middle-class backgrounds are faced with the framework of success only being achievable by sports or music. Less by academia. So this adds to their drive and why they're more represented in sports as well as perform better. Most white children don't aspire to be athletes as their ways of achieving success aren't as narrow. Many athletes such as Kevin Durant, Lebron James share the same childhood stories.
Not just america. When you’re black and come from a poor socio-economic background the only way people expect you succeed is by becoming an athlete or a rapper. When you’re white and come from a poor socio-economic people expect you to get a scholarship and become a lawyer or something.
@@blanco7726 I'd argue against that. In most African countries education is held highly. Same with the African diaspora that live in the UK and other nations. African parents are vey strict when it comes to education, same as Caribbean parents. It's mainly an American problem.
Abi Ikr do you live in the UK? Cuz I do and this is the harsh reality in cities. To simplify, schools discourage young kids and teens who are led to believe that being a rapper or an athlete is the only way to make it out the ends. Yes African parents tend to be strict, but you seem to have missed the part where I mentioned “poor socio-economic background”. Most parents who raise kids in these environments are powerless compared to outside influence. These environments do not include strong parents, hence poor “socio”-economic background. In African countries most kids don’t come from poor social backgrounds (Just like the UK, the US or anywhere for that matter) and those who do, also tend to get involved with sports like football. Theres a middle and working class in Africa as well you know.
@@blanco7726 Yh I live in the UK. I see your point as I did judge the case from my lense, not working-class youths.
I'd just add that black people in the UK are only just beginning to have heavy influence in the media and entertainment industry. It wasn't really the case a decade ago. The US has history of successful black people in media, so black Americans aspiring to that makes sense. You could say for a while there's been a gap on what youths with lack of opportunities could invest in. That gap is now filled by this new wave of music.
@@abiikr4773 The reason its an American problem is simple. Most other countries didn't (historically) have the financial foresight to implement plans to hold aa ppl back.
The lecturer has a very limited understanding of human genetics and anatomy.
Yeah, just watch the Olympic Games:
Europeans including White South Africans, Australians and White Americans = Swimming
East Africans like Kenyans and Ethiopians = Long distances like marathons
West Africans including West Indies and African Americans = short distances like sprints (100/200/800 etc. meters)
East Asians = presicion like bow shooting and table tennis
This is most certainly connected to race/genetics!
@@henri.r94 Exceptions prove the rule. The overall picture is clear...
Black ppl are just awesome creations
@@logandisilvestri4295 I guess I didn't get that message. I ranked in the top 10 percent nationally. I've competed in math against the best. Plus, West Africans are really good in math and are consistently ranked among the top in mathematics.
@@logandisilvestri4295 Of course they are. That's why there are many West Africa in engineering fields and other fields with strong math background. I've lived in both West Africa and U.S. I can tell you right now it's rare that you find a Nigerian or Ghanaian adult that don't have a LEAST a bachelor degree and a lot of them has higher degree than that. That's because in their countries they're won't make it far without it. They're used to having to work hard to get little. So, when they come to a country like U.S., it's a lot easier for them.
@@logandisilvestri4295 You're just saying that because you're a racist person who can't stand the fact that Nigerian are smarter that White Americans on average. They make lots of money. That's why they mixed the average income of all blacks. If it were just Nigerians, the salary level would be very high. Just because you're a very dumb person and is below average in academics. You pull all average down because you're so DUMB and STUPID and trying to hide under what average Whites does academically.
@@logandisilvestri4295 my sons are excellent in math.Im not that good in math but i passed it enough to get my degree in nursing 24 years ago.
what about other races????? pathetic human.
I’m Jamaican born and raised and I believe that people from the Caribbean are faster because we grew up running around in the street and racing each other to see who is faster, just like how in America football and basketball is a big deal in Jamaica running and doing track and field, it’s just the big deal here, I also do track.
No your faster because your ancestors are west African and as a result of malaria outbreak they had and we have a higher percentage of fast twitch muscle fibers than other races
Like so many things in life it comes down TO GENETICS and CULTURE and the interplay between those two. Jamaica has a very vibrant system of unearthing and training talented athletes very early. Jamaica has a culture where athletics is highly revered and there is much competition at the primary and high school levels. What other country fills a stadium with 35000 people to watch high school students compete?
EXACTLY
The football players nailed it. Socio economic status plays a huge factor in athletics.
Agreed. However, at higher and more elite levels of competition, body type is an extremely important factor to an athletes success.
There is a reason why swimmers have more broad shoulders, longer torsos, and shorter legs compared to distance runners of the same height.
The differences in their body types give each athlete an advantage in their respective competition over the other.
Among other advantages in having narrow shoulders in running, those narrow shoulders help decrease wind drag. Whereas, more broad shoulders help swimmers get more power and strength in their strokes.
Similarly, shorter torsos and longer legs give runners longer strides. The longer torso and shorter legs give a swimmer more power and less wasted movement in water.
These advantages and disadvantages in body types become more pronounced in higher levels of competitions because the margin for errors becomes smaller.
Why are gymnasts shorter and volleyball players taller?
Because in gymnastics, a small frame is easier to twist, flip, and balance. In volleyball, a tall frame can cover more ground and is better suited to reach up and spike or block the ball.
There are many variables to consider about an athletes success in a sport and body type is most definitely one of them.
Sociology factors can be overcome. However, with fewer exceptions, body type can not... Ever see a 5'5" 175lbs dude play offense line for a D1-D3 NCAA football team?
What evidence have you seen that this is the case? Blacks are disproportionately poorer in the US and are over-represented in athletics due to their genetics.
Partly, but not the whole answer, for example - The USA makes thousands of black millionaires each year, colleges and universities are disproportionately packed with black student athletes, so where are all the black swimmers, skiers, hockey players, etc?
Just by the sheer numbers more black athletes should be involved in those sports.
I would suggest the same view as Thomas Sowell has more logic, Culture has by far a larger impact than any socio economic factors in all aspects of black US citizens lives.
Then why were all the sprinters black? This makes little sense
@@-PURPLE-HEAD huge factor, not only factor
There are so many black African Americans playing football because their culture sees that sport along with basketball as their only economic opportunity ahead versus higher education which white Americans seem to highly prioritize over sports. White Americans prioritize this over sports because of the health consequences that come along with football for example. Such as brain damage from concussions, blacks have less to lose in sacrificing that. Most decisions revolve around economic factors. African American football players are more prominent as well, equals more to recruit.
I have said that if more black kids did sports like wrestling or martial arts, they could have more diverse success. One of the best wrestlers in NCAA history are 2 black men, Jordan Boroughs (Nebraska) and 1/3 undefeated college wrestlers, Marcus LeVesseur (Augsburg College) who went 296-0 since high school and 0 losses in college (155 wins).
I think I agree with you about the cultural part.... Here in the UK sprinting is dominated by black athletes. However, sprinting is still apart of White British culture when choosing a sport to compete in. So Britain are still able to produce white British sprinters..... I think this might be true for Europe.
The last Olympic winners of 100 and 200 from white European ancestry.
We're British (Alan wells 100 and Greece: Konstantinos 200).
It's a numbers and culture thing I think......
I used to run against many fast white guys but they never kept up the training or found other sports to compete in..... numbers and culture.
As for middle distance running, not long ago it was Europeans and Moroccans/algerians that used to rule those events, again this was a big part of the culture.
Lol I used to love watching Hichim El Guerrouj, Sebastian Coe, Steve ovett
Maybe it just takes one good example within your culture to spur you on to achieve the same?
@Thenew boy how many black kids focus on wrestling vs basketball, football, or track and field?? Way less. That would change if it was more blacks would do useful sports like wrestling.
@Thenew boy I wouldn't say they are taking over just yet 😊.
But that's good news for him, his country and the youth in the country. The youth in China can now aspire to surpassed him and start to build a sprinting legacy.
Everybody said Roger Bannister couldn't do it. As soon as he did other people believed it was now in human capability and followed suit.
@@miguelbermudez5426 When it comes to martial arts and wrestling, people of the Caucasus dominate period. Mountains and nonstop war created warriors there. Matter fact Jordan Burroughs lost to Caucasians (Aniuar Geduev and Denis Tsargush). Not many people know about the Caucasus cuz its under Russian control and everyone thinks they're Russians. Only recently through UFC people started hearing about Khabib and Islam, they're from Dagestan (republic in north caucasus).
I'm Asian, my long torso helps me on the computer
What? 😂😂
😂😂😂
The teacher is obsessed with minorities.
WTF are you talking about? Do you think in an introductory class on race and culture he should just talk mostly about white people?
Jerome Love it’s a race and culture class.
@@DFWME71 show me a video of him speaking about white people are he talks about is blacks and other minorities.
@@jwallah346 he doesn't even talk about white as much as he do blacks and other minorities
@Jerome Love and? It is a class about race and culture. It would be pretty fucked up if he mostly talked about white people.
For everybody who's complaining about this class try to remember there are things YOU think are unimportant but to others those things are crucial to shaping a mind to be ready for society.
Su bingtian is a chinese runner that’s been winning 60 m to 100 m races. But he is 1 in a billion so yeah.... average wise this is true.
“It cost way more less.” I love that.
The student in the hood is much smarter than the teacher
He is smart because he kept his mouth closed
His dumb ass really believes in “running away from lions story”
No shitt they from Penn University bro, one of the hardest IVY schools to get into lmfaoo
@@junpark505 This is Pen state not UPenn Pen State is not an ivy school and pretty easy to get into
Yining Wang lmaoo he was joking cuz people say penn state is the same as UPenn
I'm so glad there's a discussion about body differences between taxes, and that THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. Differences and cool, similarities are cool, learning how to understand each other is far better. This was an excellent discussion.
Pay these men for their valuable insight! Get this professor out of here!
Yeah, pay them for putting their shoes on his desk. Idiot.
I absolutely love such debates!
The football player was spot on with respect to the cost of hockey sticks.
It's a conversation, you learn alot about race when different people can express themselves
Opening a line of dialog. A place for open thought.
Ohhh I wish I could call in and join this conversation! That would be great to allow people from the outside to share their thoughts! 🤷🏾♀️🤩😁👌🏾👏🏾
So... I’ve been binge watching these for a few days now... and this has been my least favorite video by him. He rubbed me the wrong way. A little to headstrong... trying to force the conversation his way.
I WAS watching BLACK MALES being VERBALLY DISSECTED. This is a NARCISSIST to the tenth degree.😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
Yeah he does that
Binged watched as well.. And his knowledge is very limited. His answers are not logical or based in fact. I don't understand the purpose of this conversation mainly based on how he is framing the questions and his answers. Then again.. This is a sociology class. Most of his videos are from his philosophical biased perspective. I hope the students take everything with a grain of salt
I SEE HOW SOME ARE COMING FOR THE PROFESSOR. From what i gather he's teaching the best he can.
I do get that he's cut them more than enough.
Hopefully he'll read these comments and pay more attention to all the comment here😊✌
If we acknowledge that more fast twitch muscle fibres equates to a more explosive movement over shorter periods, and more slow twitch muscle fibres equates to better sustained power over longer periods then the example of hockey vs football can be explained by the game play.
There are differences between stoppages in play and changing on the fly.
The average NFL game has 11 minutes of actual play, the average NFL play lasts 4 seconds.
An NHL game has 60 minutes of actual play, the average shift is 45 seconds.
Hockey players exert themselves for 20-30 minutes per game. Football players every themselves for 5-8 minutes.
The teacher expected totally different answers from the black athletes and you can tell by how he's trying to silence them because it's true, it's mainly financial. Black people are into sport because it's cheap and they're poor.
@ATL 1 Poverty is a main factor
Most Black Americans are into sports because they're strong, athletic and are actually good at it unlike white people
ATL 1 nah most of the poor ones go into sports lol you don’t see middle or upper clas black men do. I know many successful black families, especially Nigerians and I don’t see the trend of them going into sports unless they can handle both academics and sports. I wasn’t even allowed to do sports :(
ATL 1 hmm didn’t know that lol that’s interesting. I’m Nigerian and it’s a completely different dynamic for middle and upper class Nigerians. Only sports I really see them playing is soccer and track but they usually quit by the time of college
I'm black and I find no offence to this ON MY PART #truth
This video was intriguing, because I feel most people base your ethnicity or race on how well you will do in sports, education, jobs, and so on...For example, I am of mixed RACE. I mostly look Polynesian and was ridiculed about not playing Rugby, Cricket, or Rowing. So, I see the point the Professor is trying to make is that sometimes this is Societies way of perception.
I think it's a mix of genetics, necessity, and hard work. I would compare it to singing. Some people can naturally sing well, some people have to learn to use their voice.
I think people often gravitate towards activities/sports/careers where they see a high potential for success based on how others they identify with have done in that activity. So, if I'm correct about that, then if blacks dominate in a particular sport (eg, running or basketball), it may be because at some point in the sport, a black player, or a group of black players started to dominate the sport and the black community took notice. But dominating the sport may not be enough to make a community decide that we collectively want to put in the kind of work necessary to dominate that particular sport. If the stars that cause the black community to take notice were also compensated well, or if they now had fame or respect based on their above-average performance in the sport, that may be a game-changer. You're more likely to put in the effort and time needed to become really good at that sport or activity. So, in the case of sprinters (let's use Jamaican since they dominate). They focus on running (sprinting) because they at some point, a Jamaican or a group of Jamaicans came in and started dominating. Once they started dominating the sport, the entire country backed the runners and has continued to back them because it has become part of the country's identity. So, in Jamaica, if they see a kid with natural running talent, that kid will get all the support they need to dominate. They created training facilities and methods all around this new identity that Jamaicans can run. They spend time and effort scouting for runners while they ignore sports like swimmers for example. It may not be that Jamaicans build better to be runners, it's that Jamaicans see themselves as runners and will push themselves more in that area than another country that hasn't adopted that identity. I also believe the same may be true of black-american and football/basketball. At some point, they took on the identity and so every black community has hoops set up. And when we recognize someone with natural talent, we come together to support that potential star. But it all started with representation and our community seeing someone or a group of our people finding success in that sport. When Venus and Serena started dominating Tennis, more black girls became interested in tennis. As more and more get into it, the cream will rise to the top. When black girls saw a black woman dominating in gymnastics, more little black girls wanted to take gymnastics classes. As our interests expand, who knows what you will see more and more black partaking in. Overall, I think groups dominate in the things they collectively put time and effort into, and they only collectively put the type of time and effort into that thing to dominate it if they think they have a solid chance of being successful in that thing, and they often get that vision of success more sharply when they see others they identify with being successful in that area. Also, the others are in the in-group and is often willing to share the tricks of the trade with in-group members which can further contribute to that group's success in the activity in question.
Is it genetics or historic conditioning? Or both. I also think there are environmental and economic reasonings as well.
actually i kinda feel like anyone who’s ran track might have noticed that most of the successful sprinters are short i think it helps them to move fast and be more agile, quick on their feet. I noticed most of the taller people are long distance runners. any people i’ve ever known who were very tall always moved slow, and have knee pains. also i think saying that east asians aren’t typically tall is not necessarily true in china, and south korea tall women are considered to be very beautiful and i think for it to be a beauty standard it most be somewhat common as i’ve seen many tall east asian people. i don’t think black people are generically more suitable for running track, any body who plays a sport trains appropriately to become more suitable for that sport. what i do think plays into it is the sports that are most popular in certain countries will obviously have a large demographic of people from those countries being successful those certain sports, because they have grown up playing them it’s part of their culture to an extent. like i’m haitian and in the islands, and many hispanic/latin countries football is popular so of course you will see a lot of successful soccer players from these countries. however that doesn’t mean that someone from any other country can’t train to be just as successful in the sport. it doesn’t give anyone a birth right or unfair advantage. nobody is gonna read this shit.
i wish that i was there in the actual debate that’s why i typed a new testament
i read this shit
This professor really tried to down play the cost of hockey equipment. I use to figure skate and at a point, my parents pulled me out because they were afraid of injuries. However, during my time skating, they were spending a lot of money on equipment alone talk less of ice time.
Lol hahah people let me tell you why US Jamaican are so good at track. Track in Jamaica is like football in Texas. Track is in every school and isn’t everything to us!
Kenyans and Ethiopians are the best long distance runners in the world this professor is a lunatic
After watching a few videos he really has it out for aa's who are barely in his class something is OFF with this dude.
CZcams Jamaican high school track, it’s like a super bowl
Yup
The financial point is a big factor!
Look they didn't want African pilots, lawyers, doctors, astrounauts, etc in the past. African people were therefore encouraged to sing, dance or do sports. Fact!
Actually, there are many African doctors and lawyers. It seems like that number is increasing with the younger generation.
@E-man. Sure things are changing after all these centuries but the damage is done.
@@SilentNight-ko9vw Most of those issues goes back to both slavery and segregation times.
A crying shame that! Still. The world keeps turning!
@@SilentNight-ko9vw i know but when people assume that all African are runners it is just stupid. so here is my argument. the are 54 countries in Africa and only 3 are mainly involved in sport Kenya Ethiopia Southafrica . a look at kenya where am from it only one tribe that is involved in this sport. so that mean those people are settled in one place which means the main people to look up to in the society are athletes. let use the same logic in america many blacks are encouraged to pursue sporting career because many people who have made in their neigbourhood are sportspeople.
Does outlier's 10,000 hours come into play?
This professor think's he know's it all
It all depends on the training like he said in the beginning
If you start down the rabbit hole with race and athletic performance, how far does the rabbit hole go?
I was thinking about the same thing : if the random observation of the disproportion of blacks over Asians in physical activities + the gap in achievement in this particular field , legitimize the search for a biological reason ...does that mean it’s ok to conduct a study to find a biological reason for the overrepresentation of Asians in academia compared to blacks + the IQ gap ?
I if you start down the path of understanding, where does it lead?
the footy guys were pretty cool and layed back
The other thing is that people have a propensity towards being taller because of their parents alleles. If anything happens in their childhood and adolescence that stunts their growth or affects their diet, they can either not meet that height, play catch up, or never have a problem and be as tall as they could be.
When my daughters growth slowed down drastically at age 2 the geneticist first question to me was how tall was her father. When I said 5'10" he said we will have to look for a medical reason. Pituitary gland malfunction, not producing hgh turned out to be the cause. Treatment replace by nightly injection.
Did he burp at 4:10? Please tell me I’m wrong.
It’s not merely racial it’s geographic
That's kinda similar though. Race and human evolution have both been influenced by geography.
The guy talking about Ethiopians obviously has never seen an Ethiopian. We are completely different to West Africans, we are semitic. Genetically we are on different sides of the spectrum. The reason why we have long distance runners is because of the high altitude, body size (short and slim but not in all cases) and athletics can help move us ( as individuals) out of poverty. My Dad was running marathons in 2 hours and 30 minutes in the 1980s but now we live overseas.
How? He literally agreed with you
Slatt sadly it appears so
Different sides of the spectrum?? LOL, idiot, Stop promoting white supremacy with your self hatred!
He dumbass, not all of us blacks are the same and that's a fact. Look up your bloodlines. Indians are closer genetically to your average African compared to a black american
Black people tend to be genetically gifted. I remember in high school there were some black dudes that were strong and fast as hell with zero training. Not only that but coaches and recruiters favor blacks and cut them more slack for their mistakes.
cut slack...ey chill with that but yes we are superior physically forsure..even something as simple as how much rhythm black people have plays into our skills in sports..also i know its controversial but i think melanin plays a role..
@@phar0ahad3 melanin plays a role in skin tone but has nothing to do with athletic prowess. Selective breeding as done by former slave owners and access to and availability of training would be my estimation of why former slave-owning countries like those in the Americas and West Indies have a higher concentration of top-tier professional athletes than African countries.
melanin gives thicker skin which can contribute to alot of things and that doesnt explain kenyan runners or Nigerian champions so haa try again..its melanin gods gift to earth @@chodie4u
@@phar0ahad3 your anecdotal evidence doesn't in any way refute my previous and factual claim that the New World countries have a much higher concentration of professional athletes than any African countries.
wtf are you talking bout right now ...are you serious ??? lmao maybe just maybe its because the african countries have Less acess and probably dont even know about m,any of these sports but anything and i repeat ANYTHING blacks enter we will dominate as long as the playing field is equal..but besides them even knowing about the sports how in the hell could they afford some of the equipment for these sports or sometimes its environment and weather like with hockey or any winter sports.. @@chodie4u
As soon as a heard fast twitch I thought of Bill Burr 😂😂😂
“Don’t you guys ever get tired of having those nuts in your mouth!?”
It annoys the heck out of me when these students be on their phone while in class
Honestly i'm black and I wanted to play field hockey. My parents wouldn't let me because basketball is more culturally acceptable to them not that it was too expensive.
You ain't black. Stop lying
@@mroverdose1133 yes they are
I am of West African decent, naturally athletic and have short torso and longer legs and arms. I grew up with a lot of Asian, they tend to have long torso and short legs but they are still in really good shape
The reason Japanese and Korean martial arts are different has to do with body type and environment. One is an island culture that uses arms more in daily work (fishing). The other is a mountain culture that developed stronger legs. Korean martial arts features more and higher kicks
What about swimming?
Makes sense to me that it’s genetics. Blacks are the original people
Exactly
The white guy with red hair is right he's on the right track a factor is that in people in West Africa their Gene's were forced to adapt to malaria and their muscle cells developed into fast twitch muscle fibers so both the student and professor are right in different ways
Body types are incredibly important in football. Look at the biometrics of any high level athlete and they're going to be very specialized. CB 5.9-6.1 195-215 lb. Most of the shorter ones play inside/nickel. Most OTs are 6.5-6.6. Few are outside that range. Coaches look for arm length to body length ratio, size of hands, ability to bend (which can depend on biometrics). RT gonna be slightly bulkier than LT. And in football you see consistency with black ppl dominating some positions but not others. Plenty of white guards, almost never a white CB, for instance.
A gift from God that's why they dominate
Facts
And that gift from god is called melanin
@@xfficial_5863 I’m all for loving your race but black ppl are better at basketball bc it’s more apart of their culture, just like how white ppl are better at soccer, baseball hockey, it’s more apart of their culture
Deuteronomy 7:6
didn'y god also gifted the asians somehow?
problem is society expectations: prof was dismissive of the element of cost when choosing sports. It is that crucial
Its calve insertion muscles. Every fast runner has tiny calves and when you see peak genetic body builders, they have low calve insertion which run slower. I know my people, Armenians, are built wide waisted and short, so we are excellent wrestlers (90% chance coming back with medals in the Soviet Union).
Why is the Professor chosing POC instead of White People to be put on the Spot.
you r dumb, it's called lesson of the day, check other vids
Baseball in Cuba, Puerto rico??
This "professor" is one the most intellectually dishonest people I've ever met.
Abel Garmín
Thank you for pointing that out ... I have watch multiple lectures of his and each time his intellectual dishonesty is apparent . Upsetting how he has access to such young mind ... who would process his bs as facts
@@f.i.s7481
He hides his deception with the use of slang and being edgy, he's got that lgbt look, so it's not surprising.
@ Abel Garmin perfectly said . Surprised that most people have not picked up on the obvious.
I don’t usually comment but after watching his performance ... I had to say something
0:29 dude on the right totally regret making an effort waking up that early
Come on bro that chinese guy was the world record
Africans from West Africa run Sprint because they're very energetic and genetically from where the sun and humidity is very high compared to the runners from East African, they live in mountainous area and their heatbeat and body temperature and humidity is low and they get to run more when they get standard temperature!! Genetically, Africans from West and Central Africa are tick and stronger than North, South and east Africa
orlando lartey this is true, I’m from the south and can’t run to save my life 😂
Im east Africa and i run from city to city...i dont need public bus or train just running🤣🤣🤣
At 8:00 the teacher is great but just learned a lesson about disagreeing with Canadians over hockey.
I’ve heard there are physiological differences based upon ethnic origin. That has to be at least 50% of the cause of differing performance by sport.
There are genetic differences it isn't racism to notice that Sudanese people are taller than Thai oeople. Or that Scandinavians tend to be taller than Italians. The only real racism is pretending that noticing genetic differences is somehow wrong. Hey the Finns tend to be better ski jumpers than Mexicans. Part is environment and part is genetics. Part is that ski jumping was invented by people like the Finns as an adaptation of skills used to move about in winter before the invention of the snowmobile.
@@nancyjanzen5676 dude saying that knowing how to or be better at ski jump/ing is partly because of genetics is stupid as hell.
Its literally just because of the enviroment and what some individuals come up with because of the enviroment
3:45 😂 “Like Mine”
They should have given the guy in the gray sweats that "professor's" salary!
6:13 It's a legit question
Jamaica is island of less then 3 million people. The US has 330 million.Sprinting in Jamaica is the national sport. People in the US only care about track when the Olympics. Jamaica genetics is present in Canadian sprinters Donavan Bailey and Ben Johnson and Andrea Degrasse. So it a compensation of coaching, genetics and desire.
The reason races are different is consciousness and morality. We are generally centered different in the body and regulate ourselves socially different. However, there are people of all races that overlap so we are speaking generalizations. Eventually generalizations will make you into a liar and your mind will be stressed bc it knows you're lying.
im jamaican descent and on the gold coast of africa (now ghana and ivory coast) they would have slave castles there with slaves from allover west africa and the most aggressive, determined to escape, fittest and most athletic slaves would be sent to jamaica, also in jamaica there was a lot of slave revolts where they would run away into the mountains and where successful in doing so becuase of the geogrophical differences, jamaicans also eat food that is a lot more healthier for example we eat soursop which is for strong nerves and private parts, oxtail and curried goat, peanut punch, okra etc also there was a thing called buck breaking farms where the slave owners forced the best slaves to breed with eachover and also would rape both male and female slaves as a punishment which is why they are very hompophobic in jamaica but also most the slave owners where from scotland, newcastle and liverpool in newcastle and these areas the europeans are made up of viking, roman, celtic and irish dna ancestry which are known to be the most dominant out of the europeans, vikings are known to be very strong people and italians are known to be very lean people. also east africans are known to have better endurance and lungs for running which may be from them travelling through africa a lot, for example theres a few tribes around east and central africa that are known for constantly travelling and migrating across land, also south sudan is the hottest climate in the entire world and they are also the darkest skin tone of people in the world and the tallest on average in the world probably from the amount of vitamin d they are able to take in with their melanin, all the different cultures, dna and history is probably why jamaicans are the best at most things in the world, from boxing (mike tyson, mayweather, david haye, errol spence, lennox lewis, frank bruno etc) athletics, body building, football, poetry, music etc we are very talented people
Football or basketball is exactly like soccer for the rest of the world. It’s the working class sport. You can just go outside and play it all you need is a ball. This is the main factor why black people are omnipresent in these sports. Genetical advantages have a small influence as well but not as big as socio-economic background.
it s bzcause a lack of infrastructure in africa and the best football player ever is PELE
angel spike the supposedly best player in the world was black, the best youngster in the world right now is black, the world champions of 2018 had a 50% black team. You’re right, in the end there’s still more white people (still working class) getting to the top, cuz in most good soccer countries the majority of people in each social class is white. But you can’t deny there are a lot of black people in soccer, just like basketball or football. Also I didn’t really go into level, just presence, because saying black people are better would be a stupid generalisation.
5:03 the lecture starts to get schooled and trips over his own ideas lol
And again at 8:08 .. What does this guy think is going on haha
The professor is arguing with him over stick prices when he IS FROM CANADA!!
Black people invented the game of hockey, since it has become so expensive, blacks are financially unable to participate. Opportunity is key to anything.
Sources?
Yeah its weird, black people created hockey while white people created basketball its insane
@@ilikefoodcrazy hockey was first played in Nova scotia by European college kids.
East African are the best runners in the world
Gotta put in factor, that it is proven even tho it hurts to say this. My people see sports as careers or ways to get rich and have a great life, whites tend to see it more as a hobby which they might take serious later on if they think they can become pro. My race tend to rap, or play basketball or football more often bc we see it as the only way to "get out" of our finacial struggles, so set sports before education which is why we take it more serious and more of us end up to be in the NBA or NFL due to a ratio of us playing it more than a average white person.
The comments here is not surprising at all and this is the reason why I believe he is doing what many of commenters think is wrong or waste of time. Majority expects him to go through the same method the system programmed for society, never do we try to think outside the box.
The instructor is just another example of what's wrong with race relations. He reacts as though his experiences and point of view are, or should be, the same for everyone.
David Epstein, an American Journalist, put out a TED Talk about how body types are an extremely important factor to an athletes success in a given competition, event, or discipline. Specifically, as the level of competition becomes greater and the participants more elite, this advantage becomes more apparent...
Different competitions, sports and even positions within a particular sport, are more conducive to a particular body type. Meaning, a particular body type is seen as having a natural advantage of another body type.
For example, take to people of the same hieght and weight and compare different parts of their bodies shape, size and form.
1) Person A (PA) has broader shoulders than Person B (PB) and PB has more narrow shoulders.
2) PA has a longer torso and shorter legs. PB has a shorter torso and longer legs.
Both PA and PB are the same height and weight but have very different body types.
As such, both PA and PB body types give them a natural advantage and disadvantage in different athletic competitions.
PA's broader shoulders, longer torso and shorter legs will give them a natural advantage over PB in swimming. While PB's longer legs, shorter torso and narrow shoulders will give them an advantage in running.
If you eliminate big time sports from college you essentially eliminate most of the black men on campus.
the reason why you have more black football players is because speed. just like track
@5:14 "I am distance runner" Yeah, no shit, it's not like we could tell by just looking ...
Besides genetics black youngsters are very motivated and determined in sports. So hard works makes you even better. Meanwhile this level dedication is not so popular in other races for some kind of sports. On the other hand similiar to blacks dedication you can find many youngster in Russia and eastern Europe to be very competitive in fighting and wrestling sports because it is a good way to make a fortune when pursuing an academic career is not your interest.
Do a lecture on transgender athletes
I wish I could be the angry guy in the room.
I think the answer to that question for me would be you see more black men in football because they can take a hit look at our history we are good at taking hits
Weak enslaved people died. Simple as that. Black people in the United States are the children of survivors. That plus the financial thing. Its really easy to explain
Suuuure but that doesn't explain Africans in the Olympics coming first in sports like running.
Where we all are at now on average was in the hands on our ancestors and their activities.. which translates to our genes and make us who we are now but it can all change depending on how we train our mind and body.. we're all special in our own way though. Just appreciate one another
I love Asians, i always say this, u can look at today to see who was yesterday. Warriors brotha
Yudah El damn bro what you just said was very deep.. all love my brother ❤️
The one common sense comment that I could find. 👏🙌
Cain in the Bible was a black guy and that's Asians original father
In South Africa a lot of white people are doing sport, and are able to go far with it; like get into the Olympics, etc. Simply because of wealth. The wealth gap is pretty high here, so mostly is not about how talented you are, is about how much money you have, which can allow you to get more training and recognition.
Nicohl Padima facts
In SA blacks was not allowed in spots like Rugby 🏉
It always makes me angry when almost every "South African" I see represented in sport, film, athletics is a colonizer, to your point. Through their thievery , murder and oppression they amassed wealth and thus opportunity which REAL South Africans until recently did not have access to.
