I'm not considering you a "racist," pinkharrier.

So far you don't seem to have a coherent position on "race" at all, beyond insisting that at least some inheritable distinctions between subpopulations as identified by science are "real" (which none of us "anti-racists" have contested) and that some other correlations you have identified may possibly fall within these "real" differences.

Are you going to get around to answering the following question anytime soon?
You still haven't told me how a narrowly-defined physical skill, even if it should turn out to be traceable back to a given genetic basis that is "concentrated" in a small group of West African tribes, would validate the kind of overarching stereotypical categories that fall under the heading of -- not scientific study of heritable genetic differences and similarities -- but sociocultural "race" attributions ("black," "white," "African," "European," "Caucasian," "Nordic," etc.).

Then maybe we'll have something to work with...
