Not to state the obvious, but if Lagat or Lomong or Manzano had come over to the U.S. from Sweden or Denmark or Luxembourg in their teens and now attained U.S. citizenship, the OP would not have started this thread.
True, very true, my man. In IL there was a runner who was a foreign exchange student from Norway named Marius Bakken from Norway who came to York for one year and totally dominated the state. I bet if this guy had come from Africa, people would have been all over it saying it was wrong, Bakken though ended up running in the Olympics. There are still a lot ignoracnce, out there, and its just not white people, ignorance does not have a color. I like it because it brings some variety, the world would be boring as f*** if we were all just clean cut Americans.
