Good article about how lack of black HCs is the result of a flawed pipeline

Is Koroma black? I thought he was Polynesian.

Yeah. I thought he was like Ross Apo. A Polynesian from Texas who looks more African than Poly.

Isn't Sierra Leone an island in the Pacific?

It's part of a big island called Africa.

Pretty sure Tejan's parents are from the island territory of Sierra Leone located in the Pacific.

That explains it. That list was last updated four years ago. They haven't added Tejan's parent's island yet.

That's right, I heard on the news that explorers recently discovered the island

Is it possible Provo's deprived Tonga of both its biggest AND its darkest?

Not sure about your first paragraph but totally agree with the second. Why would

Pistol Shrimp

Could be. Just look at out current staff.

It might be a simple as the percentage of black players that are willing to go

Nat Gas Man

Exactly what I was thinking.

I would disagree with the point in your last paragraph about how people hire
