In a similar vein I was struck by the conclusion to this article on what I find to be an interesting subject, which (despite having no evidence to support) decided to settle on it being a self-fulfilling prophecy based on harmful assumptions as to why black sprinters are so much better than white ones.

But the belief remains strong and perception is powerful - it can make or break champions.
That's settled that then.
