This is the same list that gets trotted out when people want to "prove" that blacks don't have a handicap in the water. The same folks who insist Tiger Woods is black even though he's got more Thai in him than negro - Thai mother, mixed race father.
Most are of clearly mixed race and calling them "black" is an act of agenda-carrying more than of biological accuracy. To call Anthony Ervin black is beyond ludicrous.
Why is the PC crowd perfectly content to recognize blacks have an advantage in certain track events but refuse to acknowledge the obvious reality in the pool?
