I have helped teach young kids to swim. There is a correlation between how high you float in the water and body density. There also a relation between race and body density. Most people when they float on their back can have their face out of the water. One girl we worked with never could, she learned to swim ok, but one of the test was float on your back for 1 or 2 min? (don't recall) She could not do this. She did learn to swim!

I'm surprised the liberals didn't propose drowning the children of white, Christian, Republicans until the numbers were balanced. /sarc

But I thought we had an epidemic of obesity among children in this country... with minorities disproportionally affected? Isn't that what all the lawsuits against McDonalds are about??? Swim-thru anyone ;)

Thank you for stealing my thunder. I was going to comment on the need for white boy dance instruction.

Statistics show that black children are more than twice as likely to drown than their white peers

Who needs statistics, anyone knows whites can't jump and blacks can't swim.

"The disparity in the NBA is proof enough of discrimination."

In the early 90's in Ontario (the Canadian province), the radical NDP government wanted to bring in some sort of race-based labor-monitoring system to ensure "racial equality" at all companies in the province.

It specifically included an exemption for the Toronto Raptors basketball team.

Personally I think a government subsidized 4'3" Female Asian Basketball Team should get top priority federal funding!!

Really when was the last time you saw a tiny Asian female playing basketball professionally?

End the Racism!!!!

/for the sarcasm impaired

Next up, we'll have to investigate if wind blows too hard on certain minorities.

I gather you never heard of Hurricane Katrina, which did just that.
