I think all cheerleading squads as well as all atheletic programs should be required to have the proportion of players and participants as the makeup of their community.
At the same time they should have to have this equality the whole time the activity is in progress.If the referees or judges see it is out of proportion on a play or move the offending team should be penalized.
I demand professional sports have the same makeup.

As a cheerleading coach for 10 years, I disagree totally with your statement. How are you going to fill spots on your team if you HAVE to full a "quota" of people from different ethnic backgrounds? What if there aren't enough people of that background to fill those spots? What if they are and these people aren't the best ones for the team? Do you think that the NFL has some kind of a requirement? or the NBA? How is that fair to those people who have tried their hardest and are the best at the sport to not get a spot on the team because there is some white,Hispanic, black, native American, oriental, or someother person that tried out. Why should anyone HAVE to make it on a squad just because of the color of their skin?
You are a racist.
