Chronic lack of diversity is a tremendous problem in soccer across the U.S. It could be addressed in some measure by active, constructive outreach programs in minority communities, but many "soccer people" are resistant to the idea. The reality is, many minority South Carolinians simply can't afford a "pay-to-play" format and hundreds of dollars worth of overpriced club gear. As has been said here before: Address cost, address participation, address diversity.
The vonly reason I'm holding my breath is because it's such a worthy goal.
