For instance who is Zulu Kid, etc. There are many fighters from past versions of the game who no longer appear in the ratings. This especially applies to some of the fighters from the DOS version of the game. It would be nice to resurrect these if possible.

Also, many Mexicans are 50/50 -- half Spanish, half Amerind. On this continent, they ae called Mestizos. Perhaps we should add a "mixed" catagory. Finally, I ran into a woman named Santana who was born on Guam. This can be noted on the "nationality" entry but not the "race" entry. Like Amerinds, Pacific Islanders are distinct though not numerous; some are part Hispanic, but others are pure.
