Is there a scientific explanation for why Africans and a lot of island peoples have trouble with swimming? I saw an interview of a US Ranger cadet where he said that there were a very small number of negroes in the Rangers because they had a lot of trouble passing the swimming portion. These weren't tribal people but civilized darkies who's lineage traces back to the Caribbean.

Despite being surrounded by water. The slaves were brought from Africa to the Caribbean by Slave Traders. Sub-Saharan Africans have never been truly maritime. Sentinelese are Palaeo-Australoid Asians however.

What about the disproportionate ammount of modern negroes living in the US who can't swim? There are plenty of resources to safely learn.

>>510957441
It's purely biological, the hip construction and bone density preclude swimming abilities beyond that of a Horse in Sub-Saharan Africans.

>>510957666
Grim. But just as I thought it all goes back to biology and genetics. The only things that are real.

>>510957897
Native Carribean people were wholly Amerindian.

>>510958522
*Caribbean.

Chimpanzees have a hard time swiming too. I will let you connect the dots.

Sentinelese aren't niggers, they are abbos.
Also, niggers never managed to build any boats to explore nearby islands.
The concept of floating is foreign to them, despite looking and smelling like shit.

Apparently a lot of Asian people don't know how to swim either. This blew my fucking mind because they live in NYC and have access to beaches and pools

>>510959286
Weren't SEA peoples pretty competent seafarers?
>>510959112
Seems like its due to a lack of curiosity and inability to adapt. Some tribesman probably went in, drowned, scared the rest shitless and they never tried it again.

They got pranked by boat niggas thousands of years ago.

It's mostly Chinese. They're terrified of water for some reason.

>>510957441

They blame poverty… I blame laziness

>>510959112
If your shit floats, you are eating too much fat. Also when pay denbts?

>>510959643
The Chinese are terrified of nature in general. In my experience with them, I have always regarded them as an "artifical, plastic people" if that makes sense.

>>510959643
>It's mostly Chinese. They're terrified of water for some reason.
Yes, it was a group of chinks i had to hang out with occasionally

Its an interesting topic
Not being able to swim is just in dey culta

>>510961286
somebody post the videos of nogs drowing from an overcrowded boat

>>510957149 (OP)
The British have the same problem

>>510958659
Not really. Chimpanzees don't struggle to swim for the same reason as niggers. For the other apes it's mostly about their buoyancy and bone density.
For sub-saharan africans, it's a unique trait associated with less with bone density and more with pelvic/knee anatomy.

>>510959643
they won olympics gold medal tho. beating even the us team.

>>510959643
No it's not that. They simply don't like being in the sun. It's like in the Phillipines, it's literally 7000 islands surrounded by water and no one can swim because theyre afraid they'll tan so they never go play. Chinese are probably better swimmers than most Asians these days since if you're in the city you take swimming lessons in pools

>>510963673
Can confirm.

Dated a hapa Taiwanese chick and went to taiwan for 2 weeks to see Taiwanese mom's family. Anyways one day we went to some beach in southern taiwan, my ex gf was fully americanized so we went to the beach in bathing suits and it was a touristy-surfer town but barely any of the locals were in the water and most fully clothed. My ex's aunt was with us on the beach and she's already slightly darker complexion but still wore lomg sleeves

Poseidon hates niggers.

>>510963673
>>510964983
I'm talking about mainland Chinese, not Taiwanese.

>>510957149 (OP)
those who weren't afraid of water either jumped from the slave ships, trying to go back swimming in the middle of the ocean, or just jumped from the floating wood (for the andaman and co) for shit and giggles
same as with dogs: the dindus who weren't afraid of dogs tried to escape the plantations, just to get mauled to death

>>510964983
I do that too because I burn too easily
had to wait to be in my 40's before I even started tanning (else, I was just getting red)
I'm not even a ginger (I for one have a soul: I think), but almost have their skin

>>510965588
I'm a hohol, i also used to burn easy but in my 30s i don't burn much at all, ill use long sleeve swim shirts and a sunhat since I don't like using sunscreen

>>510965676
>ill use long sleeve swim shirts and a sunhat
so fucking gay (or are you a fattie?)
I just swim in the evening

>>510957149 (OP)
they didnt take lessons when they were kids and their parents cant swim

>>510959643
The Boxing day Tsunami was so deadly because very few people in that region could swim. Not being able to swim or drive a car are the most common signs of backwardness in a modern world

White people are adrenaline junkies. Once they get a hit, they get hooked. Non-whites are terrified of a vast number of things and the only way they know how to respond is by chimping out or huddling together. The white man is a downright psychotic individual and the white woman doesn't fall all that far behind. There are also numerous reasons why you would need to know what's over the hill or, let's say, 200m below the waterline. Truth of the matter is, someone really really wanted to see what was at the bottom of the lake and didn't drown. Extreme sports are a white person thing.

There are at least 3 factors I know of:

1) Muscle density. Blacks have a higher proportion of fast-twitch muscle fiber, which makes them good at sports but heavier by volume and bad at sustained effort. This is why competitive team sports are dominated by Blacks but endurance sports like powerlifting, skiing, and swimming are dominated by Whites. This means they require more effort to stay afloat and are quicker to sink.

2) Different bodily proportions/center of gravity. Blacks are on average lankier than Whites, and their naval is positioned at a different ratio in the torso. They're poorly optimized for using a liquid environment to maneuver.

3) No historical water culture. Humans entering water is always at least a bit of a gamble, but in Africa it's suicidal. Plus they never invented boats worth mentioning, never developed maritime culture, etc. So there's no shared basis for being anywhere near water in the first place.

>>510957149 (OP)
They have no control over their primal instincts.
W
Europeans can calm down enough to learn that they naturally float in the water.
Black people need to work a bit to stay afloat, they can learn to swim but their body's density isn't optimal for a natural float.
And even when they've learned how to swim and got their certificates and everything, throw them in an 8ft puddle and they'll drown in panic. Primal instinct.

You'd think that the SEA peoples would be any good at sea
