East Asians are actually pretty good at swimming too as a result of more bodyfat, less dense bones, and longer torsos than whites, but whites mostly outcompete them because of a much larger overall body size.

Exactly why these types of arguments don't do well under scrutiny. The fact that East Asians and Whites both have higher IQ doesn't mean that the underlying genetic loci are the same.

How does the genetic loci being the same or not have anything to do with the argument that certain racial differences in sport outcomes is largely informed by genes?

I don't dispute that they may be informed by genes, but the genes that inform them can be very different, and hence not necessarily linked to the ancestral origin--that's a very hard argument to make.

What would it look like to have genetically-informed racial differences in sporting that were not "linked to the ancestral origin.?"

Simple. There's a narrative of how the Chinese did poorly in running, because they were genetically inferior. In the mid 90s, they dominated the women's long distance running. There was then a PED scandal associated with this.

The Chinese set some women's distance records in the 1990s because one provincial coach was cheating like crazy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma_Junren They haven't done much since, just like German women stopped being world record setters after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

By cheating you mean PED. Which is a form of non genetic influence of this particular measure which you deem to be unquestionably genetic.

Like I said, please read my 1997 article "Track and Battlefield," in which I used my quite sophisticated understanding of the interrelation of nature and nurture to answer a couple of major questions about the past and future of running:http://www.unz.com/isteve/track-and-battlefield-by-steve-sailer/ …

Here's my question to you: what's the end goal of the obsession with race and IQ? I read a lot of your stuff and delight in your particular brand of art of rhetoric. Still, other than pointing out the policies as they are are misguided, what's the point?

What's the end goal of pointing out massively expensive policies that kill people are also misguided and can't succeed?

For example, I have loved ones who are getting older and would prefer that if they had to go to a hospital they don't die due to a mistake made by a doctor that shouldn't be doing the job.pic.twitter.com/meOLeRQiBb

There are studies that measure ethnic differences in the PERFORMANCE of doctorly duties, with expected results (i.e. no difference). Though I suppose you might argue adverse results of this type might get rejected by publication bias.
