Maybe your observations about the race of Cubs fans have more to do with your sampling methods (i.e. the people you hang out with) than reality?

You are severely overestimating the popularity of baseball. Obviously you are somewhat correct that my sampling and anecdotal evidence isn't perfect, but it would be remiss of us to ignore the obvious differences in the two team's fanbases.
