pinky0926 08/04/21 5:07:40 AM #8:	I'd guess (armchair quarterback time) the main reason is similar to why most strongmen are white, or why most olympic weightlifters are chinese: it's a cultural/societal thing and there's a strong selection bias. There's no reason I know of that white men would be stronger at lifting weights than anyone else, but the sport of strongman seems to have a pretty niche interest. Chinese Weightlifting has a huge early age selection program. Basketball is more pervasive but I think it's just a matter of popularity? --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV <cite>pinky0926 posted [p:956761125] in Why do you...
