Ever noticed how whites dominate surfing? It's extremely puzzling given that people of all races live by the oceans. I saw this movie from the 70s called Endless Summer where these white guys went around the world, surfing at every site. It was pretty amazing, especially South Africa at the time.
Whites invented cricket and codified football (or soccer if you insist) too, yet don't dominate there at all.
Dominance of watersports - and an avoidance of socks - says more about (certain) whites being able to while away time sailing and so on while others had to work for a living.
No

Ryu,
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is just surfing...it applies to all water sports.
I said this beach is safe to surf!
ReplyDeleteRiding Giants is a great film too.
Charlie don't surf, neither does polly wog.
ReplyDeleteReds don't bathe, either.
