Look, I'm as white as white gets, so I have no axe of my own to grind here. But judging the ability of a person to play a certain position because of the color of their skin is racism.
With your statements you have proven JC to be correct: in the eyes of some people there is a racial double standard regarding the quarterback position.

What he said isn't racist in the least, merely something that might be the cause of a dynamic from our makeup. No more racist than the studies that have shown that blacks typically have narrower hips, longer legs, wider shoulders, and more fast twitch muscles for the most part. This allows them to typically jump higher, have a more efficient running stride, etc. It's not racist, it's science. There are a ton of societal reasons for some of these things as well.
