re: Can skiing solve its diversity problem?

There is less generational wealth being passed down in the black community.

How much do you think skis cost? Most of those people on the slopes work for a living. They're upper middle-class. Maybe dad paid for their undergrad and their first car, but the assist that minorities get from Uncle Sam and guilty Boston liberals ought to more than make up for that.

it's like talking to a goddamned stump in the ground.

the kid is full of straw men, false equivalencies, and thinks he's smarter than an entire forum full of educated people by playing the same old trope of being an "above the fray" impartial centrist, when he's a spineless, nutless, self-hating white statist through-and-through. he's a despicable little c**t who power googles his same old tired arguments, then pretends he's too intellectual to take up a position.

this article is racist, but worry no more, edgelord420 will be along with his dissertation to prove your eyes and ears are lying to you.

The important stat to look at is frequency. The ones that will eventually go pro come from the 7+ times group

Yeah, no one gives a shite about these graphs or your stupid arguments about "well, if you move 10,000 black kids to Colorado then some of them will be the Tiger Woods of the alpine slopes." You're a contrarian idiot with a chip on your shoulder about race. STFU.

As black man, I'm perfectly okay with skiing or any sport done on snow or ice, not being diverse enough. Yall can have those.

I'm not the one starting 40 threads about diversity a day.

The people that do seem to be the ones with the chip on their shoulder.

I could care less if there are black snowboarders. Why does there need to be?

---

And yet, you're always in these same threads arguing nonsense. Even when people tell you from experience, like Redstick13 and myself, why black people don't ski, you fricking argue about it. It's dumb.

Did her parents have an interest in skiing? And were they wealthy when they were around 6 years old which is when great athletes normally start their sport (at the latest) ? A lot of things are passed down through generations.

---

How many skiers (by percentage) do you think are 'great athletes' with generational wealth? I sure as hell don't see them when I'm skiing, white, black, or asian.

Japanese groups skiing are the GOAT for fashion though.

Why is the NBA and NFL so “light on whites”? We’re genetically the same according your DNA studies and whites are 76% of the population. Why aren’t we 76% of the NBA?

You will never get honest answers from them on this

Genetically the same, but that is on the whole, not individuals. Physical characteristics come from your parents, not from the overall pool of the population.

The nba represents the elite 0.00001% of basketball players in the world, so a small advantage can be be the edge needed to get to that level.

Look at the McCaffrey family, they aren't better because they are white, they are better because their parents were exceptionally athletic

There could be a great Asian snowboarder if they strived to be and their parents supported them in pursuing that passion.

Chloe Kim?

She's pretty good.
