I should add that my example was not of black people not being able to swim - they were excellent swimmers or they wouldn't have been in the class to begin with. They just could not pass the final tests - including the brick test, which has more to do with bouyancy than swimming ability.
I wondered if low body fat had something to do with it in this case. Fat floats. If I have to save a skinny man or a fat chick from drowning - I'd pick the fat chick since she will be much easier to drag back to shore overall.
My dad puts mayo on fries (chips). I have to turn away.
