Must not Mention Black Swimming Ability

You don't have to follow the Olympic games for long before you notice something striking: The fastest runners are mostly black and the fastest swimmers are nearly all white. And blacks are more likely to drown in swimming pools too. So for some reason that is irrelevant here, blacks do seem to be at some disadvantage when it comes to swimming. But you are not allowed to mention that. GOP Congessional candidate for Florida, Tramm Hudson recently said:

"I grew up in Alabama and I understand and I know this from my own experiences that blacks aren't the best swimmers or may not even know how to swim".
