Don't be fooled that SF have changed their colours. Sure one or two councillors might have said a few things about looking after Irish people and not throwing them under the bus but the hierarchy and predominant sentiment within SF is intent on doing exactly that, abandoning ordinary Irish people and instead focussed on getting as many "progressive" (ie: anti-Irish) politicians elected as possible

Yes he's coming from a "progressive" background on this topic but it's still a really interesting conversation, worth a listen despite the usual prog blindspots

The prevalence of sprinters with West African heritage in many countries can be attributed to a combination of genetic factors, environmental influences, and cultural practices. West African populations, particularly those from countries like Nigeria, Ghana, and Jamaica, have been historically known for producing successful sprinters due to genetic traits that may provide physical advantages for sprinting. Some of the genetic factors that are commonly associated with West African populations and may contribute to their success in sprinting include a higher percentage of fast-twitch muscle fibers, which are essential for explosive movements like sprinting. Additionally, West African populations may have genetic variations that affect muscle structure, energy metabolism, and other physiological characteristics that can enhance sprinting performance. On the other hand, Eskimo or Inuit populations, who primarily inhabit regions in the Arctic, may not have the same genetic predispositions for sprinting due to adaptations to their environment. The physical characteristics that are advantageous for survival in cold climates, such as increased body fat for insulation and resistance to cold temperatures, may not necessarily provide an advantage in sprinting events. While genetics can play a role in determining physical advantages for certain sports or activities, it is important to note that success in sprinting, or any athletic endeavor, is also influenced by training, coaching, access to resources, motivation, and other factors. Additionally, diversity within populations means that individuals from any background can excel in sprinting or other sports with the right training and support.
