Why are powerlifting competitions dominated by asians and whites?

Most, but not all Blacks have shit leverages for powerlifting.
Ed Coan, the most famous powerlifter on the other hand, has the perfect powerlifters build.
He's short, He has a long torso, short legs, long arms, and insanely thick bones. His wrist size is 8 inches. In comparison he has a insane squat and deadlift thanks to his leverages, but suffers on the bench. He suffers way less on the bench than other lanky armed guys because of his insane bone thickness.
I have lanky limbs and arms and much thinner bones than him. I could juice like a hardcore powerlifter, but never reach his strength.
My wrist is just around the 7 inch mark.
His wrists are a whole inch bigger.

good question
Asian and white men have more voluminous bones (but less bone density)
More intramuscular fat and glycogen which keeps the muscles and tendons from overcontracting thus lower chance of muscular failure, stiffer ligaments
Wider ribcage and waist/hips which adds stability
Although, from my point of view, most top tier asian and white strongmen have a lot of negroid features, such as high set calves, shorter muscle bellies and longer tendons
Just taking a shot at this…
powerlifting does not really translate to athleticism. A powerlifter likely has short limbs and naturally thick wrists/forearms/knees/legs. In other words, their bodies are ideal for power and explosiveness… not athleticism overall. You ever notice how a lot of black guys have naturally athletic bodies even if they have know muscle? Waists narrow as f**k, wide clavicles/scapulas. Yeah… their builds are just naturally more conducive for overall athleticism as opposed to brute strength / pure power.
I’d say whites are genetically predisposed to be stronger/more powerful than blacks, but blacks are far more athletic overall. Sure, whites might take strength competitions, but blacks dominate bodybuilding, combat sports, and practically every physically demanding sport played today.
