Plot twist: they're sisters.
Either way, they're getting stabbed when I get home from work.

It's a racial stereotype that African Americans cannot swim.
Why? Man, Americans are weird.
No idea, but the statistics reinforce it; the fatal drowning rate of African-American children 5-14 is three times that of white children. Here's a BBC article on it.
I'll stop now, back to the funny business.
Swimming is not usually taught in public school in the US. It's usually learned from your parents. If your parents can't swim, there's a much smaller chance you will learn it. Also access to pools is much harder to come by for people who have less money, and in the US black families in general have a lot less money.
Kids usually learn to swim from:
1) paying to become a member of a local pool
2) having friends who pay to be a local pool member
3) going to a nice school which teaches swimming
4) having a family or friend who is rich enough to have a pool on their property
5) having a beach or free public pool nearby, the spare time / transportation to use it, and somebody to teach you how to swim
There are a lot of contributing factors, really. But studies show that black children in the US are much less likely to be swimmers than whites or latinos.

I don't really get the point of having sport classes in school if they don't even teach you things like swimming. Weird!
Note that it's totally fine to put a metal spoon in the microwave as long as it's in a cup of milk etc.
In fact, you want to do that as it prevents the liquid from superheating (and maybe boiling over, to an extend), but of course you can also use glass, wood etc.

I learned to swim at my neighbors house across the the street. They were probably the only black family in the neighborhood at the time.
To this day, I have no real memory of them actually getting the pool with my brothers and I.

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
Old but kind of funny still.
Uhhh yeah. There are maybe three people in my entire extended family who can swim, and all of them first learned to swim when they joined the military.

Or. Or. You're forgetting that if you're poor enough, the apartment complex might have a pool which you can use if it's clean enough to swim in.
I think you will find that gif put to good use in this thread.
