I have noticed it is not racist to say 'all black people are marvelous athletes' or some similar stereotype. Saying the spearchuckers evolved speed through selection by hungry lions probably is. The prostate cancer is one example. Ashkenazim tend to have unique health issues too. Tiptoeing around 'race', 'ethnicity', or whatever you want to call it is doing nobody any favors. Watching the ads netflix and amazon shove into the stream has led me to conclude black people seem to have a lot of health issues that can be cured by Pfizer if the side effects up to and including death don't get you first. Or maybe some ethnicities are overrepresented ?
