Terrible comparison. People from 1950 were just as black as they are now. However, people from 1950 were nowhere near as overweight as they are now, even if we control for Flynn effect.

I remember reading a couple of years ago that an average woman today weighs as much as an average man from 1960, that gave me a pause.



" ("that black guy I worked with was terrible; won't do that again")."

I once started a business with a black Nigerian partner. In fact, I would not consider a black guy as partner in business anymore. Been there, done it.
