Not to mention, African Americans play a lot of basketball because Americans in general play (or view) a lot of basketball.<p>In Europe, say, Africans play a lot of football. But there&#x27;s also just as many whites who do- so are African Americans only endowed with the kind of genetics that help them play good basketball? Or are Africans in general endowed with good _basketball_ genetics, but not good _football_ genetics?<p>And what about European basketball? Why are basketball teams in Europe not predominantly African American?<p>[Where &quot;football&quot; read &quot;soccer&quot; if you&#x27;re on the other side of the pond, please]
