This was before face gen so ethnicity just had to be guessed at by name.

Here is a thread where he introduced the league.

There may be others
But this forums search function is awful

I can't remember the year of the league, but I would say the earlier memory of it being in the 60s or 70s is correct.
And Texas has a long Hispanic heritage due in part it you know, once upon a time being Mexico.

That was not his only problematic league or post dealing with race and ethnicity.
In retrospect, spammy dealt him some veeeeeeery light hearted ribbing and MD did not take it well at all. Snowflakes, etc.
