    WOW! This thread is really being well discussed! Especially given the potential inflammatory subject. Well done all posters taking part except the derailers!

    Anyways, my tuppence worth:

    I def think that there is basis in the enviroment theory.

    (This is just a sweeping statement and dont mean any offence by it all)

    If someone was brought up in a poor enviroment, be they black or white, its very likely they will have less body fat and more muscle due to eating less than someone who grew up in a more 'well off' enviroment. (also less comforts, walking instead of driving places etc...)

    Also lets look at geographical enviroments. People who live in asia, africa etc... they have a HELL of a lot of room to run around! I assume (from news and other tv sources) that alot of people who live in these regions are often short of food and have to walk/run miles to get anyway.

    This is going to have a massive impact in comparison to someone who drives/gets the bus everywhere.

    They will be naturally more 'cut' and have a higher muscle mass than someone who has grown up/lived in a more acceptable/comfortable enviroment.

    *NB: im not a geographer, scientist, or cultural expert just think that the enviroment that a person is raised in plays a big part in this. Apologies if my post is garbled im at work and am typing quickly.*

    Thanks

    But Muscle , Build and Height come from good source of Protein . And back in Mainland Africa , most Black People over there aren't that big like the one you see in America , and if you compare to Asian from the Mainland to the one that were brought up and live for generation in a White majority society , they can be big and tall as well .
