The ethnic composition of the two leagues has become extreme as the American league has become the Central American League and the National League could be called the White Nationalist League. This trend has been going on for a few years and it seems to have reached it's peak. A look at the league leaders in batting illustrates the point. Pitching of course is still a white thang.
Only 2 white starters for the AL, and about 5 subs. For the NL however there are 5 starters, due mostly to ballot box stuffing by the Cub fans but even among the subs there are 7 white guys. That's a sizable difference.
The AL has the same number of american born blacks as starters as it does whites! And the Red Sox are now the Brown Sox after years of being a bastion of good white baseball players. GM Dave Dombrowski is working his black magic in Boston like he did in Detroit.
