uh... "most physically fit males - especially ones of Brown complexion - are armed to cause serious physical harm"

It's a good idea to rephrase that.

edit - yes, a lot of black athletes have lower body fat than whites, hispanics, and asians. No, they're not "especially" armed to cause serious physical harm.

It has nothing to do with Brown being black. It has everything to do with him being 193 cm male weighting 95 kg. It is fascinating how discussion of something having zero to do with race suddenly turns into discussing "black athletes" vs. "whites, hispanics, and asians".

It started out about race -- "especially those of Brown complexion" isn't "zero to do with race".

Yow, bit by the English as a second language bug.

Yeah, that one word really changes the meaning of that phrase.

Yes, absolutely a more reasonable statement knowing that it's the way 'complexion' is similar to 'constitution' in some languages.
