that is a myth, anyone can jump you have to do alot, and I mean alot of practice, specifically working on your calf muscles. And just to let you know i am black, so this is not a bias answer

White people (generally) have muscles that favor endurance, while blacks (generally) have "short" muscle fibers which favor quick movements.
