Why is it...
That black people can't swim?
shareWhy is it that racist and bigots keep posting on IMDB? Besides cock lips, just one black guy that cannot swim does not make all black people unable to swim. Hell, even Cullen Jones won gold on the US swim team in London. So would you please, shut the hell up - Chris Jericho.
I don't think it was racist. It is true that both the black contestants had to be rescued.

shareLOL stereotypes.
shareYou do realize some stereotypes are very much true right? In boot camp about 80-90% of the African American people in my division had to take swimming classes while the rest of us were doing other things.
shareRacist as it seems, while most white kids in school are learning to swim or their parents at those early ages are bringing them to pools to learn, most black kids that age are playing basketball ;p
Well, you cant simply "know" how to swim out of nowhere, sure you can attempt to splash around in the water and stay above, but to actually control yourself and move in the water, that takes some "training" as it were. Stereotype = confirmed!
I just posted "LOL stereotypes". How did you infer that I didn't think that they were true or false?
shareThey were also both high muscle-mass / low body fat.

Its been proven African Americans, especially males, are denser, in muscle and bone structure, and therefore have more issues swimming.

I think it's people with no training or experience swimming who don't know how to swim. ;-)
