US Population per the census.
White 75.8%, ex Hispanic 59.1%
Hispanic 18.9
Black 13.6%
Asian 6.1%
If this simplistic woke analysis is correct, Hispanics are edging out everyone. Wokism teaches us that minorities cannot be racist, so the racial disparity in baseball is both irrelevant and clearly not racist
There are zero trannies also. Women who are now men need to be represented in the World Series. Otherwise it isn’t a diverse group.
I'm pretty sure that all those "No Black People Allowed" signs that have been posted on Little League ballfields the past 20 years have had a lot to do with this. But that's just my opinion.
Why would anyone but whites play baseball?
Baseball was created by a white man after all.
Many Hispanic players could be considered
black like David Ortiz and many of the current ones
Chess is racist. White moves first.
Why would anyone but whites play baseball?
Baseball was created by a white man after all.
Let’s not even get started about basketball.
Who invented that game?
..but U.S. born being the key...still
they are black...
Have they complained about the lack of black swimmers?
“No Black People Allowed” signs
I remember those signs—they actually said “Hispanics Welcome but No Blacks Allowed”...
;-)
I don’t get the criticism.
Anecdotal evidence is that there are plenty of “Negro” players. The complaint apparently is that they are mostly from Latin America.
Isn’t that bigoted, to complain that the “black” players, aren’t the “right” kind of black players???
Yes.
Did Ben Walker happen to notice that the Astros’ Manager, Dusty Baker is black? Probably, Dusty doesn’t qualify, for some twisted, illogical, leftist reason.
Hispanics are edging out everyone.
~~~
Yes! And in many (most) situations, the media will call hispanics people of color when they need to for making a grievance point.
In this case, the completely ignore the fact that Hispanics dominate baseball. The reason isn’t racism. It’s culture. It’s blatantly obvious.
Fine by me. Btw, Dusty Baker is black. He’s also an Obama loving fool.
Ben Walker is a racist.
The worst thing in the world is there just aren’t enough blacks participating. FCOL.
I can think of many things where whites are grossly underrepresented, but that’s fine, I guess.
Dusty Baker has been the Astros manger for 3 seasons and is bitching now about this. The manager has a huge input on who is on the roster so it is partly his fault.
The NFL is racist.
Blacks are only 13% of the US population but 70% of NFL players.
White guys are grossly underrepresented. We need and NFL that looks like America. There need to be far far more White guys on NFL rosters. For example, the 32 NFL teams have 64 starting Cornerbacks. You know how many of them are White? ZERO!!!!
Undeniable proof of the NFL’s overwhelming racism.
In an NFL that had proportional representation, 44 of those 64 positions would be held by White guys. We must demand racial justice from the NFL and end the blatant discrimination against White men.
The very existence of white people is racist and they should all be exterminated.
You know that’s where this is going.
