“Most Hispanics playing aren’t black, they are Latino”

You have black hispanics and you have black latinos. You have white hispanics and white latinos. I consider them one in the same. The vast majority of latino/hispanic baseball players are of black ancestry. So that means one thing, even in Latin American countries the blacks are better at sports than the population of European ancestry. You can also watch the Summer Olympics. All sprint races are dominated by black athletes. All endurance races, once dominated by white athletes, are now dominated by black Africans. All sports that require jumping and running are dominated by black athletes. Weight lifting, I think, is probably still mostly of European stock.

Look, if the MLB is 60+% white then blacks aren’t dominating that sport no matter how you want to define them. Not because of any lack of talent, skill, smarts, or athletic ability, but because the nature of the baseball skill set generally allows more competition from whites, Asians and non black hispanolatinoblackwhite whatevers. The NBA and NFL skill set and physical requirements generally allows less competition from those others, usually on a purely physical level. Also, the skill set for baseball at the major league level usually requires very frequent repetition at a very young age, usually from fathers.
