From Los Angeles Times:
Torii Hunter was fuming about the way he came off in a USA Today article examining efforts to develop black talent in baseball, a story that quoted the Angels center fielder as saying that dark-skinned Dominican players are “imposters.”
The article, published Wednesday, quoted Hunter as saying: “People see dark faces out there, and the perception is that they’re African American. They’re not us. They’re impostors. Even people I know come up and say, ‘Hey, what color is Vladimir Guerrero? Is he a black player?’ I say, ‘Come on, he’s Dominican. He’s not black.’ ”
Baseball’s African American population is 8%, compared with 28% for foreign players on last year’s opening-day rosters.
