In the last 20 years, white sprinters (Jeremy Wariner, Kevin Little, and Andrew Rock) have won 14 medals. Most of those medals are gold.
In Deagu, white sprinters won 3 medals. White hurdlers won 3 medals plus one for the "de facto" white Liu Xiang.
All white distance runners >1500 in Deagu combined won precisely ONE medal, and that was a Russian female SC.
Simply by the numbers. white long distance runners are an absolute joke compared to white sprinters. And I think that would still be true even if you counted Lagat as "white." US MIDDLE distance runners these days are at-or close to--the best in the world, but crossing above 1 mile in distance is essentially going to the misfit universe.
