Most of the coaches are white dudes, with a decent representation of Latino's as well - given the US History with soccer, it kind of makes sense. (I'm in California)

Early on in AYSO I've seen a lot of talented black/minority players put in the backfield or maybe defensive midfield almost exclusively, and the white players get more scoring opportunities. So their experience is basically taking the blame for losses, being asked to run their ass off, and basically serving as table setters for the coaches kids who get to play fun positions. I think they lose a lot of black/minority talent that way too.
