Tread lightly folks, tread lightly . . .

RayB: I wasn't invoking that kind of thing. And I did qualify the genetic statement with a cultural reference - black indigenous language, etc. The thing is, they developed it within the natural process of their culture, whereas for caucasians I don't think it was there, really, to begin with but it sure didn't remain if it was. Since blacks are far less divorced from their ancestral heritage, they've retained it at the genetic level.

There may be other traits relative to other ethnicities, or some other kind of grouping, though I'm not personally aware of any at the moment/none come to mind. Well, no, I take that back: I think there are (perhaps more subtle) genetic traits that have to do with psychological potentialities...but I'm not sure those are ethnically or racially determined. They are environmentally affected, to some probablistic degree.

mr.Curmudgeon:
There goes that theory:

* Wait for the kid in the Orange shirt (after the first two kids on stage), that's David "Elsewhere" Bernal. (Hint: He's not black)

shorthair:
I'm talking about the vocal thing, in particular, in my last. Did I say caucasians couldn't dance?...couldn't break dance, etc? Maybe cos the young black kids in the early 80s were used to seeing their family dance, they danced, etc, etc - vs caucasians not having the same experience. I think that's actually the case - BUT, for them it goes back a time-immemorial. They're adapted. I have no idea about the relation of break dance moves to martial arts. Could be.

But let's go all way on this and bring it down to pure physical attributes: Blacks, both genders, generally have more booty. Now, this is arguably an aesthetic sensitivity I'm speaking of, but you have to admit that white boys more often than not, and despite their maybe intensely working legs in the gym, don't have no ass. (Due to my Italian blood, as it surely wasn't from the Irish, English, Scotch side, I'm fortunate not to be in this camp.) If it were me, and I was offered a way to augment it, I would...cos not even guys should be booty-less.
