Maybe just your area. My school has a pretty good mix. Although granted predominantly white. We have about 70 students total (kid/adult). If I were to break it down, roughly guesstimate:

60% white
20% asian
20% hispanic
10% black

My guess is that your local population demographics are about the same.

Greetings,

David Jamieson,

The thread does have that flavor. But is Texas so jacked up socially?

I don't mean to intrude, but I've spent the better part of 30 years involved with the Japanese martial arts, including training in Japan. One thing I can tell you with absolute certainty is that the Japanese are not "more accepting". Individuals may vary, but overall the Japanese are as xenophobic as any group on the planet. The fact that more people, regardless of skin color, are involved in the JMA has more to do with availability than it does with any national sense of tolerance.

Happy training,

actually i wasn't serious about that not at all. if you read the tone of the post its silly. maybe i should've put some smiles and lols around it.

A state that produces amazing men like a certain George W. Bush? You're off your rocker, dude!

I have visited various kung fu and shaolin schools , but one thing I dont see is brothers practicing cma, then again maybe I am wrong or that is just the way it is in Texas. I know there are some teaching some where. Any suggestions?
By the way does anyone know if RZA from WuTang still practice shaolin?

shameless plug...

Happy training,

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Until Chinese films became popular here, the only martial arts known were Samurai films (ie: Seven Samurai, Musashi Miyamoto) and then there are the military personnel who came back from Okinawa and Japan with Black Belt and advanced kyu levels in Shotokan, Shorin Ryu, Shorei Ryu and Kyokushinkai as more examples.

It's very easy to find Karate instruction in this country (good and bad), especially if you're in major cities. That being said, it was available and blacks flocked to it.
