Here is the demographic breakdown of the 22 players that now make up the US Men's Soccer Team under their new coach.
It looks like we are going the way of France and England.
Black: 10/22 (45%) (Includes Mulattos and "Spidermen")
White: 9/22 (41%)
Mestizo: 3/22 (14%)
It's pretty much a Caste lineup now. Only the "Defenders" fairly reflect the actual demographics of the country.
Compare this to the demographics of the USA Women's Team that finished second with nary a peep about them having to become more "diverse" in order to field a competitive team. That is apparently only reserved for the US Men's Team (or England's Men's team, or Germany's Men's Team, or France's Men's Team, or Holland's Men's Team, or Denmark's Men's Team, or Switzerland's Men's Team, etc.)
Outside of Donovan, all of the other "skill" players (Forwards) follow the same Caste script found in the NFL.
FORWARDS (80% Black / 20% White)
DeMarcus Beasley - Black
Freddy Adu - Black
Juan Agudelo - Half Black/Half Hispanic ("Spiderman")
Landon Donovan - White
Edson Buddle - Black
MIDFIELDERS (43% White, 43% Black, 14% Mestizo)
Kyle Beckerman - White
Michael Bradley - White
Ricardo Clark - Black
Brek Shea - White
Maurice Edu - Black
Jose Torres - Mestizo
Jermaine Jones - Mulatto (American Father, German Mother (of course))
DEFENDERS (62.5% White, 12.5% Black, 25% Mestizo)
Carlos Bocanegra - White
Edgar Castillo - Mestizo
Timmy Chandler - Mulatto (American Father, German Mother (of course))
Steve Cherundolo - White
Clarence Goodson - White
Michael Orozco Fiscal - Mestizo
Heath Pearce - White
Tim Ream - White
GOALKEEPERS (100% Black)
Bill Hamid - Black
Tim Howard - Mulatto
