White is Right?

Maybe it just has to do with kids idolizing certain players, and wanting to play that position. I don't think it has to do with race, more so if your a white kid growing up, the only real glamor position that you see white guys at is either linebacker, or quarterback. So maybe you grow up wanting to be the next Montana, or Elway back in the day.

If your a black kid, the glamor spots are running back and wide receiver, and you emulate the black guys. I don't think it has anything to do with race, so much as you naturally relate to the guy that looks like you when your younger. Coaches also had allot to do with it, most coaches back in the day would naturally place players at certain positions based on race, whether sub consciously or not.

Now your starting to see allot of that changing. There are more white wide receivers popping up and white running backs, along with more black quarterbacks. This is because these kids maybe didn't see race as much , or the culture of sports changed, so that Coaches didn't automatically place kids at positions based on race.
