...African Americans play paintball?

I am not trying to come off sterotypical/racist/whatever. I just notice that although I live in an area with a very mixed racial population, I rarely see black folks playing paintball.

What is it that doesn't appeal?

im not touching this one

Can't help ya there. Whenever I'm at the field for walk on days I usually see a good mix of colors/ ages/ experiences, whatever. Can't see any reason why color/ nationality would matter either. (beside the whole ridiculous Muslim terrorist attack training that you hear about)

The only color I ever see is the color of my paint splatted all over your goggles.

[Cow hunter]

edit; on saturday i played with a big black guy, he was really nice, and had the best reaction ive ever seen to my mag. went something like

"DAYYYYYUUMMM what is that thing, can i hold it? i havent seen one for like 10 years!"

We are 50/50 here.

[wjr]

At the field I frequent there are occasionally black people there, but not very often.

Any african americans here on AO?

[behemoth]

'round here, its asians and whites.

I've seen probably 5 black kids play before. all but one were rentals.

Demographics.

/I work for demographics; so I'm really getting a kick...

[geekwarrior]

[paintballfiend]

I guess I see mostly white and asian people play. Makes me feel like I'm at school.

Some select scenes from the local tourneys from 2006:









Some of these guys are thought to be some of the best players in town. 'Course, others think they the most arrogant players around, and a few like them even less. But they know how to play, and they've been playing for a long time. When I first met these guys, back in the days when I thought a VM-68 was still new and trick, these guys all had matching Belsales Autocockers.

Now, of course, they all have Predator Angels I built for 'em.

when i worked at a field there were not many minorites that were regulars and pretty much all of them that were regualrs happened to be asian. the area i live in is very mixed but many of the minorities are on the lower side of incomes.

other than the militarty guys that came now and then pretty much all the minorities were rental palyers.

maybe it was that the field was on a militart base, maybe becasue the majorirty of better of minorities dont live as close to that field as to others in the area. i relaly dont know, but i do see many less minorities than the areas population... maybe its casue all the black guys are better atheletes than us scrawny white boys so they are playing all the other sports while we are playing paintball .

then again my quazi boss was half black and just one crazy mofo (cool but dang was he crazy, and it wasnt the black half it was the stoner half )
