Have perceptions of white athleticism improved as opposed to the past? I know that many if not most people in the general public (including even some otherwise racially aware/pro white types) still think of whites as nonathletic/physical inferiors to blacks but when sports such as boxing were charcoal-black and all the belt holders aside from some mestizos in light weight classes were usually black, when whites did not yet break the 10 second barrier in 100m and it was seen as physically impossible for them, I think was really the nadir of white athletic perception.
I have lurked here for a while and notice that gloom from many users is common, even neuroticism sometimes. But this question has always bothered me and it takes a more positive view on things, have athletes such as the Klitschkos and other white boxers, MMA fighters, white NBA players putting on master-class performances, the Gronks and JJ Watts of the world (as well as McCaffrey) and maybe Lemaitre and Wariner; as well as countless others, who have succeeded in what are viewed as traditionally "black" arenas such as boxing and in sports overall improved the perception of the white man's physical prowess? I mean people always talk about blacks taking over sports with their supposedly superior athleticism but the demographic shift in sports such as boxing is remarkable, more white than black men in most pound-for-pound lists.
