Well I had to google that one for you, I thought they were interchangeable, but APPARENTLY "latino" and "latina" refer specifically to latin american people. Hispanic can actually be anyone from anywhere who descends from spanish speaking people. Lots of people are therefore both hispanic and latino. Not all latinos are hispanic (some latinos are portuguese, italian, even english speakers), and not all hispanic people are latin american.

Dope info in this thread by Antonio and nice questioning by sideline assassin Johnson that would be an asset but never wants to be a member.
I haven't looked a lot into it like Hardcastle but my thoughts are that whites are about top with pure brute strength genetics like is expressed in powerlifting, strongman, and armwrestling. But like what Hardcastle said, I have a question mark over a couple of Pacific Islander races in that regard.
Even compared to African Americans I'd consider whites to have more muscle mass, as well as fat mass for that matter. African Americans are leaner than whites, but also retain decent muscle mass due to the picking of large Africans as slaves (or so I've heard), so they have this cool combination of high strength and high leanness.
A. Americans excel in things that involve having a lot of Type 2a muscle fibre, which happens to be an asset in fun contact sports like boxing and football, as well as sprinting.
A. Americans also get leaner genetics than whites so they can excel at those sports where power-to-weight ratio helps, which again just happens to include those contact sports everyone loves to watch.
Who wants to watch people (whites) sitting on arse lifting a weight bar really slowly for 10 seconds? No, we want to watch what the A. Americans are good at as it's more explosively dynamic and more can be done with that kind of movement.
The AAs combination of having lean genetics while keeping a good level of muscle mass is the best genetics for the fun sports where moving bodies around a lot quite explosively and powerfully is involved.
The leaner genetics of the A. Americans comes in with bodybuilding as well. A. Americans have a little smaller muscles than whites but they look like they have more due to having lean genetics. They don't actually have quite the potential for the same muscle mass as whites do (although still good/above-average), but they can cut down better than whites to expose the muscles (muscle definition), which is a must to win bodybuilding contests.
Where AAs are unique as a race is that normally races with lean genetics have low muscle mass (and races with fat genetics have high muscle mass). But with AAs they break the natural mold in having above-average muscle mass white retaining above-average leanness. Not the most muscle mass, nor possibly the most lean. But good in both.
In bodybuilding a main challenge is retaining muscle mass while being lean, as bodies naturally want to shed muscle as it cuts fat. Whites can have all the muscle mass in the world covered with fat and it's useless for bodybuilding. But for powerlifting/strongman there is no requirement for leanness or showing muscle definition, so they can bulk up on both muscle and fat, which is about what they have best genetics for anyway (possibly baring some P. Island races).
That's about how I think of whites vs A. Americans.

My guess as to why African Americans have genetics for above-average muscle as well as above-average leanness is because the African races the slaves were chosen from had lean genetics. But the slavers picked the large individuals among the race that had particularly high muscle mass among that race.
You then get large strong Africans reproducing and creating more large strong Africans, but also carrying on the lean genetics that is a general marker of their race. Willing to be corrected on this but it's just the way I'm rationalizing how the A. Americans are like they are.

I used to subscribe to the slave thing, but as africans living in africa start getting more opportunities (sometimes by migrating to a western country, but definitely not undergoing any slave breeding) we're starting to see they lack little-to-nothing compared to african americans. A lot of the best UFC fighters are straight up africans (Ngannou, Usman, Adesanya), a lot of the best NBA players are straight up africans (Embiid, Antetokounpo, Siakam), even a crapload of NFL players (which is very odd, when you consider the relative lack of exposure and opportunity), and Africans are starting to make real noise in track and field as well. I think equatorial west africans in particular are just like that, the slave descended populations definitely had it rough and had to be top notch to survive and breed (and were perhaps even favoured for prowess) but it seems life was hard enough back in equatorial west africa, with cut-throat enough sexual selection, to keep pace.

Johnson low-key rules but I think literally can't join because he has a proboards-wide IP ban or something?

Which race would win in a battle?

A 1 on 1 fight or a military battle between the races? As a white I will say I'm most scared of east asians, even though I'm least scared of them 1 on 1.

Dope info in this thread by Antonio and nice questioning by sideline assassin Johnson that would be an asset but never wants to be a member. Of you want, I can provide a screenshot to prove that my laptop address is banned from proboards. It is weird because it happens at odd time intervals. |

Ah didn't think something like that could be going on. What pain in the backside, you've got a good brain and are a great contributor. At least you can still get on as a Guest I suppose. |

I can briefly come on here, but here is what generally happens if I approach this forum by computer. That's saying the ban is specific to this forum rather than proboards at large. Do you know if you get the message on other proboards forums? |
