Why are most basketball players black?
<|assistant|>
Most basketball players are black because of the historical presence and influence of basketball in African American culture, as well as the access to resources that have historically been available to black people in America.  In general, basketball in the United States has been largely associated with African American culture since its early beginnings, giving more opportunities for black athletes to excel at the sport and become professionals.
