Question 3

According to pseudoscientists like Nicholas Wade, why are there so few Black Olympic swimmers representing the United States? What would be a sociological explanation?

Accepted Answer

Wade would likely argue that swimming requires intelligence and genetic superiority. Therefore, White swimmers' bodies are more genetically engineered for swimming. Black swimmers, on the other hand, are biologically not suited for swimming. He would probably argue that their bodies are too heavy or that they cannot float. A more sociological explanation would be that the availability of pools in predominantly Black cities is scarce and therefore does not provide the same opportunities to learn how to swim as White people. Swimming has also become a very costly sport with some swimsuits costing as much as $1,000. Basketball, on the other hand, is a relatively inexpensive sport and basketball courts occur in inner cities with more frequency than public pools.
