Answer 7

Answer 8

you cant generalize this

many white women have  big butt but it tends to spread rather than be striking out

Answer 9

So they have something to sit on all day while they wait for the wellfare checks.

Answer 10

Well man... its just plain genetics. Why do asians have thinner eyes than most? Why do African have darker skin? Why do germans have broad chins? Just little quirky genetic patterns.

Answer 11

why in the world are all the women on here calling him racist for asking a question about genetics?  Guys like womens bodys and tend to notice differences where differences exist.  There are much greater differences between the races than merely skin color.  Just as only blacks have cicle cell, they have different butt types.  I dont know why this is exactly, but I KNOW its not racist to ask this question.   Just like its not sexist to say that, generally, women have larger chests than men.  Its just reality. Anyone who thinks that asking a simple question is racist, or sexist or whatever, has never been exposed to them.

Answer 12

I'd guess genetics.

i guess they are considered a different "species" than whites. Gosh, that sounds racist, but its kind of like Elephants. Asian elephants have bigger ears than Indian elephants, but they are still elephants!

Please don't take that as a racist statement, i am not racist at all!!

Answer 13

Genetic predisposition.

For instance, I notice idiots tend to have idiot children.

Answer 14

d-d-d-daaamn homie!

Answer 15

Why do african americans excel at sports? It genetics.....Listen to sir mixalot

Answer 16

I have a theory. I think that it is due to the heavy duty slavery for centuries and centuries like building pyramids, coal mining, diamond seeking, and harvesting and so on. That's my theory, that of so much work that's how they gradually passed it down to the next generations, the genes that sort of like mutated or something. What do you think?

And I know that African American were not the only slaves in this world but they are the ones that are spoken about the most.

Answer 17

RACIST!

Answer 18

Their rear ends are in their genes.

Answer 19

Who cares. I like both.

It's not racist to notice that a lot of black women have rounder butts, while more white women don't. I'm not sure how many exactly, but it is something that I've noticed.

Answer 20

" I like big butts & I can not lie..!!!!!!!"

Answer 21

that's not racist at all, freaks.

okay, paris hilton? give me a break.

she's a twig.

i bet if you found a picture of a black girl

that's a twig like paris, she wouldn't have

anymore than paris.

Answer 22

genetic lordosis. nice pics by the way.

Answer 23

cuz they can. =p

Answer 24

I really don`t know but the black butt was Mo Fugly. It doesn`t make you a racist just because you didn`t like that big fat

ugly butt. It means you didn`t like that "BIG BUTT". END of

story.

Answer 25

well today both race have those types of butts

Answer 26

not ALL boo im black and i wish i had a donk!

Answer 27

People it's a question dang.  Ladies please it's not that serious. Number one WOW and oh my lawd to the diva in the bathing suit.  To bad for Paris.  Pulling her bathing suit up her azz didn't help her out much.  Anyway to the point.  From a sista's point of view I just think it's genetic.  As they say not every woman of color latino or black has a full back side.  I guess the majority do.  Not all white women have flat booties.  

There are exercise you can do to assist in making your butt fuller.  They firm and lift.  Only thing is if you don't have anything at all to work with well..........not much you can do.  There is plastic surgery.  They also make butt pads.  

(I'm black if you didn't catch on to the sista comment.  Not trying to rude.  I'm also a L*****n.  Which gives me the freedom to not be scared to answer this question.)

Answer 28

i dont kow if there is an explanation.....but couldnt you have put  one with bottoms ?

Answer 29

Oh now that's just sterio typing. I'm sure there are white women with fat butts too.

Answer 30

LMFAO! AT THAT GUY THOMAS! haha, fried chicken! HE'S SO RIGHT!

Answer 31

I looked all over, but even my precious scientific journal databases have failed me! I can't identify the genes responsible for butt size.

There's a trait in some African populations called steatopygia.

http://www.answers.com/topic/steatopygia

The word translates as 'fat butt'. Really. Both men and women tend to store fat in their backside and surrounding areas (upper thighs, lower abdomen). It's most pronounced in people whose recent ancestors were hunter-gatherers and did not practice agriculture, which led to the theory that the fat storage helped them survive during a drought. So that's sort of what you're looking for -- I think the majority of European, Asian and other populations relied on agriculture before the majority of African populations did. We didn't need the fat storage as much, so we lost it.

I have a vague recollection that there's also a difference in the arrangement of the gluteal muscles -- something about the gluteus maximus being located higher up in people of African descent. This memory is very old. I may have been about ten years old when I heard it. I only mention it in case you could be bothered researching that possibility, since I certainly can't.

Sorry for the lack of credible sources and the overload of half-formed theories. Not my best work, but the best I can do at the moment.
