that takes you to another article that seems to attempt to break down the demographics.
But 2nd article says that Opening Day 2023 rosters were:
60.5% white
29.6% latino
6.0% black
3.4% Asian
0.3% Hawaiian/Pacific Islander
0.2% native American
Compare against census.gov percentages of USA population:
58.9% white
19.1% latino
13.6% black
6.3% asian
0.3% Hawaiian/Pacific Islander
1.3% native American
So MLB is getting latino players at the expense of black and asian players.
This is not an example of lacking diversity, unless you define diversity in ways that dictionaries do not.
