Don't be silly. It's a youtube vid from a comedian, it's a piss take of ignorant racists. To be honest, this was the last place I expected the PC brigade to pop up and run scared of close to the bone hunour.

Depends on the video really.
Comic videos are clearly for laughs.
Some images, even if you find it funny, will not be found funny by the powers that be and will be deemed racist.
Which, is funnily what i was talking about earlier on stereotypes
This place isn't a democracy afterall.

1. The KFC thing. Its purely cultural. Most black people you see in KFC are of West Indian rather than African descent, and Chicken is a Caribbean staple. There's no biological reason why West Indians eat fewer burgers. The lactose-intolerant thing is also higher amongst blacks as well.
2. The lactose intolerance thing amongst Asians. This is actually medical and affects about 1 in 3 Asians; they don't have the enzyme to process milk. A related issue is the East Asian alcohol intolerance problem. In both cases the reason why whites don't have this problem is because milk and beer are cultural staples amongst Europeans and have been for thousands of years (we used to drink beer for breakfast, because fermentation made the water safe to drink); in fact the one area of competition where whites can take on all comers is a drinking contest.
3. The black athletics thing. Partly biological (slightly higher muscle mass, and more importantly, the ability to apply the muscle mass through better leverage), but also partly cultural. I don't think the swimming thing has any biological basis, its just not a "black" sport, in the same way that ice hockey isn't.
4. Non-kosher or halal foods. Its fairly obvious really; priests in hot middle-eastern environments discourage people from eating the foods that spoil fastest (pork, shellfish), and encourage food preparation that helps preserve meat for longest (like draining the blood from animals) by saying God says so to stop idiots poisoning themselves. Not exactly complicated. A living pig isn't intrinsically dirtier than a cow or a sheep, but the meat is.
5. No-one eats predators. This is because, a. farming predators doesn't make much economic sense, and b. they generally taste rank. The only mammal predator I can think of that gets eaten on a regular basis anywhere is dog, which is probably because it passes the economic test rather than the taste test (I've eaten dog, it was like rabbit but even greasier).

From what I saw in a documentary a while back it was because of the bone structure that black people tend to sink to the bottom while white people tend to float easier making them spend less energy keeping their head above the water and cant spend more energy actually "swimming".
No idea if it's true or not but that was the only argument i've heard about why there's no black people participating in swimming contests.

Have to start using that "is it 'cause i'm white" thing
Don't get me wrong, things are improving, but we can improve it more.
The racial stereotypes ain't that funny to start with
If it's a man; attack the penis size.
If it's a woman; tell her she has a rather gigantuous posterior.
Ooh let's challenge those racial stereotypes, all in formal english:
If it's a man, go with 'Yes you said you had my Mum, but she claimed she couldn't locate your apparently sizeable penis without permission from NASA to use the Hubble Telescope downlink.'
If it's a woman, you should go with 'You may have what you call a 'fine booty' but my friend tried intercourse with you , and said you 'front booty' was rather like stabbing his volumous genatlia into a rather large muddy puddle and needed scuba equipment to escape'

I do remember some anthropological-type studies showing that overall, black people having a higher bone density and overall higher % of body-weight of muscle and bone compared to fat - meaning they have to expend more energy / effort staying afloat than someone of exactly the same weight who is white so generally while black people can swim just fine, they are generally less successful at a high level where speed/efficiency is key.
I suspect that is also why a large number of top Olympic Athletics competitors are black. Those few percentage points are what separates good sportsmen from elite really.
