Answer 3

First of all, Cullen Jones won a gold medal for the USA, so to say that there are NO Olympic quality black swimmers is false. Secondly, it's just not a sport that many black athletes consider since there hasn't been a real history of emphasis of that sport for them historically. Cullen Jones and other black swimmers are really trying to change that and are working to raise the profile of swimming in the black community through several different organizations.

Answer 4

The tall ones with big feet are all playing basketball. None left to swim.
