If half black half white kids count, then yes. He's one of my buddies, and he plays regularly. He's 14, but he's the size of a 4th grader. It makes the day quite interesting.

There is one black guy at my field that is kick ***, but mostly I just see white kids, the other time I see black kids is when my friend from North Carolina coms up here and plays with us, hes black. In the pro curcit, it is defiently dominated by whites.

Well I live in Canada, so seeing African Americans (or Canadians) anywhere is pretty much a rare occurance.

I knew a young black kid that plays and I saw an older black guy at a field once just to check it out with his friends (it was funny when he saw me come off the field after getting out in a speedball game, because he went, "Whoa, man! You have girls who play, too!") Other than that, I haven't seen many. I see a lot of white and Spanish people, once in a while a few Asians, but not really any blacks.

I've seen a few. One day a few months 3 brothers came out to the field. I say brothers because the they were, and they were. They had a lot of gun playing "Gangsta." :)

Well it really depends on where your playing. If you live in a heavly populated city, then you tend to see a more ethnic race, diffrent races. But the smaller the town, the smaller amounts of the ethnics groups. But, If you go in a big place, (Portland, where I play sometimes) you see alot of black people. but if you go in a small town, (Tualatin, small town where I live) you barely see any.

The fact that we have just about every walk of life involved in paintball is one of the things that make it so great. No one really seems to care who or what you are or look like. As long as you're a baller that's pretty much all that matters. We're one of the only sports that doesn't seem to have some kind of racial innuendo to it somewhere. At least not that I've seen. We all look the same in a mask.

A kid who used to be on OhioPBX is black. We actually referred to him as "black mike" because there were two other mikes at our field. Also, he was the wealthiest out of all of us and had a new gun nearly every month. Once his Proto went down the day before a local tourney, and instead of getting it fixed or fixing it himself, he went and bought an Ion.
Also when he "quit" the team, he stole Eff's barrel kit. Well, actually Eff left it in his car, but he refused to give it back.

BM: I'm quitting the team.
Eff: Ok, but can I have my kit back?

You can't deny it. When you watch paintball videos, or go to the field how many black players do you see? Very few. Unless of course you live in an are where the majority of citizens are black.
I know two that play, one refs at my field, and one is a kickass pumper.

I always see black guys at my field... i have yet to see one that doesn't blindfire though.
The closest I've gotten to seeing a good black guy playing, I was on his team in X ball and we were all telling each other where we were going off break, and the black guy asked me at least 3 times where I was going, and I told him where each time. Off the break I ran to the bunker and he slammed into me and bumped me out of the bunker. I guess he didn't like me:(

I see as many black people as i do white people. Its not uncommon.Agreed, but only at certain fields. Or field, rather. But i'm pretty sure players' races at any given field are relative to the races that live near the field.

People drove down my road in a pickup truck screaming "white power" once.

edit: after semi proof reading that little statement I would like to say their jerseys literally had explicit content printed on them, just to avoid any confusion.
