Many fans just can't believe that Jeremy Wariner, the Olympic 400-meter champ, is white--and they've argued it out on the Web
RE: Why isn't Jeremy Wariner more popular?
macker> Because 99% of the USA doesn't know anything about T+F....
Right> Because he is the perfect model for drugs in sports.

RIIIIIIIIIGGGHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTT
ttc> A big part of the conversation about Wariner is that he is white. Because he's white, he would make a great 800m runner....
Could I be good?> Why would he make a great 800 runner because he is white?
ChinaFan> Is common knowledge that Blacks run fast 400m. Whites run fast 800m. And Asians run fast marathons. All stereotypically speaking.
trackstar> Common knowledge says that you are an idiot....
IL(L) Runner> On the topic of Blacks vs. Whites in the speed category, isn't there some differnce in the muscle structure or even the tendons or ligiments between the two? Doesn't anyone have any information on this?
not PC> Jeremy Wariner is not more popular because the liberal media does not want to see a white man succeed in a black man's sport. . . .
African> hey Africans run fast marathons not Asians, fool...!
