So if science deem, say, whites to be sub-par compared to blacks when it comes to running... The whites should have an equal opportunity to get running medals?

I started off with equal opportunity does not equal outcome. White guy can compete but it does not mean he gets the same outcome. And as far as an appeal to democracy is concerned the number of votes you get to use is irrespective of race or speed.

As to the bolded part... Can one be racist if one can show that black people in fact seem to run faster compared to whites? I don't see the "responsibility" problem there?

Is it OK to be racist, as long as you point to scientific data?

For me, personally, it would be the utmost logical brain leap to think the human races have developed identically, given evolution and the different conditions we have had.

Just like we changed colour of skin, logic dictates that our brains might not exactly have gone in the identical same direction, no?

You do realize that the variation between groups is less then variation within most race groups (massive inbreeding can skew this see royalty and various inbred religious groups).

Also the largest variation on the gene level is men vs women. So as a group men are more closely related to each other than a woman of the same race. Think about it. Do you think we should be able to curtail the rights of men or women based on their chromosomes?
