Are black people more athletic?
This is not completely true I believe. The part about whites being better at studies than black needs proper reference. As for the athletics part, I don't think "athleticism" is just a byword for black. What is meant by athleticism (as opposed to athletic ability, which is a much broader and more nebulous concept) is the ability to move one's body quickly (in the sense of acceleration, change of direction, and top speed) and powerfully. This is largely a function biomechanics and musculo-tendon physiology and chemistry. Differences in physique and physiology clearly give blacks an advantage over whites in this respect and the word "athleticism" is applied to them much more often because they are much more likely to possess a high degree of "athleticism."
