Poor Jimmy the Greek

Olympic gold medalist Michael Johnson of Dallas says he believes that slave descendants are superior athletes. "I believe there is a superior athletic gene in us," he told the British Daily Mail. 

Poor Jimmy the Greek was crucified for similar comments 25 years ago. Why is there no outcry now? Isn't that sentiment just as racist now as it was then?
