US Men's Gymnastics and Swimming

With the Olympics in full-swing right now, I can't help but to think about the different story lines and issues that revolve around the time. While watching the US Men's Gymnastics and Swimming teams, I couldn't help but to notice that both teams have a man of color or minority on them. It was great to see especially since I'm a black man and I love to swim, but swimming isn't typically a sport that gets connected to my race on a historic level. But this made me wonder whether the presence of these Olympians would begin to get minorities from across the nation interested in pursuing sports outside of what is deemed as "typical" for them to get involved in or whether it would still be a matter of decades before we started seeing a majority of our swimming and gymnastics teams made up of people of color.
