Zulus are bantus which means they are closely related to the West African tribes.Dennis_DeYoung said:
In sports? I don't follow soccer, so they well could... there are a lot of theories about why West Africans seem to be so dominant in sport, but a) it doesn't seem equally distributed across all Africa and b) there's not really a good handle on it right now, partially because it's so controversial of a topic.RhythmicSlappingDawg said:@Dennis_DeYoung you forgot the Zulus in Soufffff Africa. Those guys tear shit up.

They migrated too far, however, and got shitty at sports.RhythmicSlappingDawg said:

Zulus are great sprinters. That happens when you have the hunt #MySpringBok and have to contend with lions and shit.YellowSnow said:

There’s a lot of implications to this and UW ... a lot of good whiskey could be consumed while discussing ...
Long story short though the positions where we struggle to recruit the most are at positions where you are most likely to be looking at “fast” type of individuals -

So, Did you fuck him?Dennis_DeYoung said:
@jarlsbergraygun is a fucking amazing handle.jarlsbergraygun said:It's comical, and probably fitting, how close this reasoning is getting to the taboo of "HBD". DDY, are you a reader of Pinker, Lynn, Nisbett, etc.? Perhaps more bombastic or recent types like Charles Murray, Eric Weinstin, or others in the headlines?
I don't keep up with the science headlines like that, but I've driven Dick Nisbett to a bar. -
I tell people I did. Does that count?WeakarmCobra said:

Told you guys we needed a Nigerian DL coach.
I was hoping Onwuzurike could bring us a Nigerian DL pipeline, they're usually raw but with good coaching those guys can become elite with their athletcism for their size. -
As a slow-strategy (based on that framework) blindingly white boi from an east-coast public HS which was roughly 33% black 30% latino and 25% white (rest Asian/middle eastern/African/other), the joke when I went to UW/lived in SEA was that if I saw a black person they played for the Huskies/Seahawks/Sonics.Dennis_DeYoung said:
@ExtraChrisB - etc. We are a quite diverse group for UW fans (given that centering your life around SEA is a prerequisite on some level for being here and the PNW is one of the whitest places in America.dnc said:
Why do you hate @Swaye @RoadDawg55 and @BrickSquad???BlastDoor said:My perception from reading this thread is that I'm the only non-white dude on this board.
It is definitely true that people are far more creative and innovative when they have limited resources.
It's also an interesting framework to apply to the old tyme row boat legends. Joe Rantz would without question be considered fast-strategy based on that framework but was someone who reaped the benefits of the stable, supportive environment of Washington Rowing.YellowSnow said:Notice any symbolism here- i.e., where we take the group pics of the recruits?
