Given that racists and slavers used the “natural physical strength” of black people to justify putting them on hard labor and some medics still think that blacks has higher resistance to pain, I wonder if when black athletes started to join mixed race sport teams, some racist would have used the same “biological advantage” argument that now transphobes use against trans athletes to claim it was “unfair” for black to compete against whites to justify segregation.
That makes no sense when you look at the reasons of why it was established this way. It would be just blind and dumb egalitarianism. People need to use intelligence in judging these things, not just emotions.
I guess it depends on whether you want things to be equal or equitable
I agree. It also depends on being able to understand how those terms work and what they represent in real life, which is, unfortunately, often rather difficult for people to grasp.
