Original Note:
It is inaccurate to state that buoyancy is different solely based on race. There are many factors that contribute, but ultimately it is density and surface area. Fat is less dense than water and will float. People with larger water displacement float better. https://www.swimjim.com/blog/why-do-some-people-float-more-naturally-than-others https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28561485/ https://home.csulb.edu/~emyrw/T3/lessons/Hydrodynamics.html
