1940?

Not even your parents were alive back then. Anything more recent?

2025 - 1940 = 85 (https://www.google.com/search?q=2025+-+1940)

Are you saying there are no 85+ year old people in the US? That the OP's parents couldn't possibly be 85?

Not a very sound argument to make.

The history of the Civil Rights movement and the "end" of state sanctioned racism is a lot more recent than you think.

Wow, your counterpoint is about discrimination in sports 80 YEARS ago. Barely anyone alive even remembers segregated baseball firsthand. You seem to be backing my point even more that sports have been a true meritocracy for many generations now.
