Pietro Mennea from Italy ran 10.01s for 100m according to Wikipedia. That is the fastest non-African I know.
Any sprinters that are not of immediate African descent ever break 10s?

I'm pretty sure Patrick Johnson qualifies
and fastest Aryan is Marian Woronin at 10.00
No none!
White men just can't run I suppose
The French teenager - Christophe Lemaître (b. June 1990) - got DQ in the 2009 World Championship Quarter-finals Heat is someone to watch. He has a PB of 10.04s in the 100m I can almost guarantee that, he is going to run a sub 10.00 within the next 18 months. I thought he was going to make it to the Semi-finals and probably to the finals had he not been DQ.Good luck to the GWHhttp://www.iaaf.org/athletes/biographies/country=FRA/athcode=235477/index.html

Carl Lewis ran sub 10 and he was/is American. Tyson Gay ran sub-10 and he was/is American.
Ben Johnson ran a drug aided sub-10 and he was/is Canadian.

Usain Bolt?
Not non-African. Non-African descent.

yep - please end thread.
French dude clearly is doping.
i agree!
any white man running sub 10 - has to be on some kick ass drugs!
I'm pretty sure I can run sub 10 hours for the 100m
I was under the impression that Marian Woronin of Poland had run a 9.99 ... but I websearched this and it was listed as "unofficial."
Yup, got it.
Aboriginal Australian does not = African.
Paddy ran 9.93 a while back.
When (if) whitey gets there it'll be bigger news than Bolt.
Ok thanks.

All humans are of African descent.
Christophe Lemaître will do it. He's still a teen, hasn't been running that long, isn't even all that well coached. Tall and scrawny, isn't on the gear like Gay who is juiced to his bulging eyeballs.
Look out for Ramil Guliyev of Azerbaijan. Born 1990, has run a 10.08 this year. Although more of a 200 metres guy (20.04 pr) he should be able to go break 10 seconds for the 100 m.
