Realtalk, why do some people think white ppl are unathletic?

[rip city12]

My whole life, Ive heard that stereotype that white cats arent athletic. I for one am pretty athletic, fast, decent hops, pretty good at most sports youthrow me into. Some of my buddys that are other races call me "The Anomaly". Sometimes when i get picked up for football, people are surprised impretty good. My question is why do people think that white people aren't athletic?

Im just curious and wanna get some of your thoughts, I know this is a taboo subject but i just wanna see what NT thinks.

There's a lot of athletic whites here at my school.

i think the bigger stereotype is that being black = being athletic.

I don't know..Maybe it has to do with the fact that whites originated in europe and were advanced with technology so they didn't have to be as physicalas say africans who didnt have horses and what not so they evolved differently?

Because non-whites dominate in every sport except hockey perhaps....?

[djisme3]

[apollo xxxiii]

Mythology. Plain and simple.

 

[philly5fan]

Most white people arent athletic...that doesnt mean they arent good at sports just means that they usually arent the fastest or jump the highest.......
