Their mommas make them gordos. That doesn't happen in Argentina.

The real head scratcher: How come they can make a yard in a high end neighborhood look pristine when they're on a crew, but if you drive by their personal house the landscaping is a patchwork mess?
It’s axiomatic. The plumber always has the leaky faucet.

I presume you mean in attitude. A lot of arabs immigrated to central and South America (Honduras call them Turkoos) that are pretty white. Then you have all zee Germans that arrived about 1946 in S. America.

Most of them are not built anywhere close to Alajandro Villanueva. He’s a serious anomaly.
Hispanics don’t have a big presence in football or basketball for the same reasons that people from China, India, and other parts of Asia don’t. Those people are generally not built well for either of those sports.

Not weird to me.

No.
It still requires that a person is good enough to make it.
You don’t give people spots in sports to have representation

I want to know why Haitians are under represented in baseball.

Two of the three top finalist for Heisman were Latinos
