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.
Chess is racist. White moves first.
Have they complained about the lack of black swimmers?
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.
Then there is the NBA.
It tends to allow lots of long rap sheets in the league.
Why not more non-criminals?
I’m sick of the media and the woke left defining everything in society by race and sex. All it does is divide people, which apparently is what they want.
What’s basketball?
Baseball is a sport passed from father to son, so it’s not hard to figure out why there are fewer American Blacks playing today.
So thank LBJ,
They will see that there are plenty of blacks playing in the World Series.
I coached Little League for about 10 years in the eighties in Austin. I don’t remember EVER seeing a black kid on any Little League team and we played teams all over Central Texas. One requirement of Little League, or any youth sport, is a parent or guardian to bring their kid to the ballpark.....AND, including practices, that means nearly every day in season.
“...there aren’t enough black players in the World Series. “
And, there are a disproportionately high number of blacks in the NBA.
And that’s racist.
