Also, on another note, why aren't there that many black motorcycle racers? Are we biologically incapable of going fast as well?
I think "biological" is a bad term for it...

But, I know plenty of women that started riding dirt when they were wee ones, and they aren't the fastest things out there. Not slow, just seem to have more of a will to live than their male counterparts. I think survival of the species is something to it....

Black riders - no idea. The color of the rider's skin hasn't ever occurred to me as an issue. I'd think sociological in that aspect. You are right in that exposure is a factor.
