It just occurred to me -- if you say "white men can't jump", a statement asserting that members of a race are incapable of something, nobody would bat an eyelash

The ironic thing about it is that all the world record holders of the high jump at the time the movie "White men can't jump" was released -- were white.

Yeah, that is rather ironic. Just imagine trying to make a movie called "Black Men Can't Play Hockey". Imagine the outcry!
