Is there a historical reason for why few nonwhites learn how to swim? You'd think it would be an imperative, especially for people who live by the ocean, but even today they don't know how

they are afraid of the atlantis warrior but white people came from there

I don't know, Australian Aboriginals can swim just fine, it seems only American Negroes can't

Lack of access to safe warm waters?

Swimming is common in Asia. China/Japan/taiwan/etc

Its not so common for Africans or poor african-americans due to the fact that there's a lack of safe warm water to practice on. Pools in back neighborhood? HAH.

Up until recently, most white people couldn't swim either.

You know a similar thing happened to a farming family when one member got trapped in a grain silo?

>>
>>3122522
That's an American stereotype.
>>
>>3122522

Chinks and Poo-in-Loos swim just fine, blacks have trouble with it because their bodies are denser and so less bouyant.
>>
>>3122522
Fun fact: until recently, even during the age of sail very few whites knew how to swim
>>
>>3124206
Never heard that in my country. I know A LOT of black people who knows how to swim.
And a black woman won a gold medal in the olympics already.
>>
>>3124223
It's really only American blacks that can't swim, Australian and African blacks swim in crocodile infested waters all the time and seem to get eaten less than white people for some reason
>>
>>3124223

Blacks can learn to swim of course, but their denser bodies make it harder for them so fewer of them learn.

Getting trapped in a grain silo is completely different from not being able to swim.

Grain silos are immensely dangerous, for how unassuming they may appear. Water is just water. If you can't figure out how to not die in water, you deserve to die.

T. I cleared blockages in grain silos, my first job out of high school.

Denser bones = less bounacy = more difficulty in learning to swim.

>HURR stereotypes :^)

Stereotypes are invariably accurate, that's why they exist.

>>3122522

idk honestly

>>3123523
I live around where this happened. Theres a local pool that offers swimming lessons really cheap. Every white parent pays for this and its almost as if its the same as getting shots for a kid of how EVERYONE, no matter how poor, does it. But for some reason, very few black people if any ever have their kids in swim lessons
>>
>>3124204

And an American truth
>>
>>3124229

Nile crocodiles have been feasting on Africans since forever. They just don't have a news media reporting that some peasant disappeared when washing clothes or gathering water in the river.

>Stereotypes are invariably accurate, that's why they exist.
So Ameriburgers are indeed fat, shart in the mart, arrogant, dumb as fuck and obsessed with guns.
>>
>>3124844
They're well informed of the risks, just this year over here we had some dumb nominally white cunt go and get almost killed by a crocodile to try and get some British minge
>>
>>3124866

Relative to other peoples, yes. Did you have a point or did you just want to prove beyond any doubt what a fool you are?
>>
>>3124881
Even if the stereotype stuff is true
1. As far as I know it only exists in America
2. Many don't know simply because their parents are not teaching them
>>
>>3124897
>1

Not true, but of course you wouldn't know that because you're a moron with no interest in researching this stuff for yourself.

Irrelevant to whether something is true or not.

Mozart could compose wonderful music from the age of six, I guess that means everyone can do that!

Also I didn't say niggers CAN'T learn to swim, only that it is more difficult for them so fewer of them do so.
>>
>>3124236
That's total bullshit

>>3124733
Oh my God you have no idea what you are talking about. That study has no relation bone density in races at all.

Now show that this is the cause they are not learning how to swim.
>>
>>3125066
>HURR prove that this objective fact that makes it more difficult for blacks to learn to swim is the cause of blacks not learning to swim!
>>
>>3125075
Yeah you have to show that the % of blacks that don't know how to swim is because of that instead of for example parents simply not teaching them.
>>
Eurangutans copied amerindian style so they could swim better.

Incas were superior to europeans.
>>
>>3125075
You don't have a slam dunk yet.

What you'd need to do is prove

>black people have a higher density as a result of biological differences
>density is correlated with swimming proficiency within races (ie, the black people with lighter bodies can swim better)

This is how science works, you want to bring in all available evidence.
>>
>>3125083
>>3125096
>HURR you have to prove this ridiculous strawman claim you never made!
No I don't because I didn't claim this single fact is the sole and exclusive reason for the objective difference in rates of swimming proficiency. There are many other reasons, including greater muscle mass vs fat mass, and of course cultural reasons too. But the biological differences are themselves enough to answer OP's question of why, historically, fewer blacks learn to swim than do whites.
>>
>>3124206
>Chinks and Poo-in-Loos swim just fine

You don't honestly believe this right? Indians and the Chinese are notorious for being completely worthless in the water, unless they're diaspora (and even then it isn't assured) they will not be able to swim 100% guaranteed
