Whites are represented at the top level in all sports.

So why are black people disproportionately represented at the top of professional sports?  Do you think there is some inherent difference? 

and if there is, do you think white people would be justified in wanting their own separate sports?  According to you, that would be OK.

How about a white only 100 meter dash?  Do you think white people need a little nurturing and confidence in the 100 m dash?  Just like women need a little nurturing and confidence in chess, according to you, to the point where they need a separate tournament and separate rating system?  

So which one of us is a sexist?  The one who thinks men and women are basically equal in mental ability, or the one who thinks women are inferior?  That would be you.

Pretty much the only sports where you see no whites at the top are sprinting, where you see only people with West African genetics, and distance running, where at least on the men's side they all have East African genetics.  The womens side sees more ethnic diversity. So if this is a problem, it's only a problem in a tiny number of sports.  We have white NBA, NFL, boxing, and other sports players all around.

And if you wanted to "fix" that problem, you'd have to define "white" or perhaps "not African" in some sort of scientifically rigorous way, maybe by genetic markers.  No one wants to do that.  It would be absurd.

This is not at all like a women's chess or poker tournament.
