Well...there are certain sports in which the blacks are better at, like Basketball and Football.
Ice hockey is predominantly white.
Since 1972, the Russians and Germans have dominated the olympic sports, especially the winter olympics.
If you draw inference only from basketball and football, then you could say that the dark-skinned people are better at sports.
But if you consider all the sports, then of course it would be foolish to conclude that one racial group is better than others in sports.
If you insist on generalizing, I would say the Germans (as a group) are more athletically inclined than any other group. I have noticed that among the native americans, the people who have German sounding names (Becker, Schroeder...etc.) tend to be athletically inclined.

black people (people of african descent) have done well in sports; brown people (south asians) have not.
shooting and golf are not sports; cricket is barely one.

"shooting and golf are not sports"
Have you ever played golf? If you did, you would definitely consider golf as a sport.
BTW, the orientals (chinese and japanese) have done well sports too.
Agree. I have played Gilli-Danda and I consider it as a Sport.
