This is an absolutely fantastic point. Well said.
A lot of the hispanic families also suffer from a culture gap, either by language, or the plain fact that they are close tight knit communities that keep to themselves and don't interact with the non-hispanic soccer communities. Many of these folks don't understand the idea of elite youth teams in the US or the fact that many offer scholarships for the poorer players. I run part of our club's rec program and I see plenty of hispanic kids playing in it because it's cheap, and they don't have any clue about elite level soccer in the US. But if those kids don't even know how to try out for the elite levels, what do you do?
