This is right on point. Irish, Jews, Italians had there day when they were the underclass. Now there is winter sports, biking, and canoeing to take up over getting your skull reamed in. Mexicans have been well represented in the lower weight classes for years now. Once enough of them get on American diets and training, they'll begin to dominate all classes alongside Eastern Europeans.
