Why is it mostly whites in MMA/Martial Arts gyms?

Looking for a Muay Thai gym. Maybe I'm wrong and I'm just basing this off pictures, because the gym I want to try may have a good number of blacks. Otherwise, there seems to be a lack of black men and women going to these places

Are we just mostly boxers? Or is it just my area? I'm in Illinois so it could just be that. :ehh:

MMA costs a lot of time and money, and the average non-white person in America doesn't have much of either. It's also partially a location thing probably. The gym I trained at during college had a decent amount of black folk, Brazilians and other latinos. My gym was in an urban area and owned by a black dude. Plus the gym was geared more towards fighters than the average school.
