Scientists Determine Chinese hurdler Liu Xiang to be Black

Beijing, China (SUN) - When Chinese hurdler Liu Xiang won the 2004 gold medal in the 110 hurdles in Athens, Greece he questioned his own ancestry stating, "I am [Chinese] and considering the physiology of the Chinese people, it is something unbelievable." After being blown by Xiang in a record 12.88 seconds, a confused 2004 silver medalist Terrence Trammell said, "there's no way that motherfucker's Chinese, no fucking way." Scientists at the Nike headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon developing a new, lightweight track shoe customized specifically for Xiang first discovered something strange when parts of his skin started to rub off when contacted with saline during a routine physical. A source who wished to remain anonymous for legal reasons explained, "[His skin] just started chipping off, in bits, and the color of his skin underneath was a dark brown." Scientists are still baffled by the origins of his slanted eyes and further research is being done by the Nike scientists. Xiang was unable to reach for comment.
And there you have it, Strait Up.
