Question about ethnic diversity in the world title scene
For sake of argument WWE(F) and WCW main event titles are obviously world, but in this tally, lets include the ECW (past and present), NWA and, AWA main event/world/heavyweight titles as well. And I was just wondering, besides for the one billion white guys who have held the titles, what about minorities? Here is a list by my count (granted I don't know the history of AWA or NWA all that well).

Black champions (4.5):
Ron Simmons
Booker T
Bobby Lashley
The Rock (only counts as half cause I'm including him else where)
Ron Killings

Arab/Persian (3): Ask AAA, there is a difference between Arabs and Persians but I'm lumping them together
Iron Sheik
Sabu

Polynesian (3):
Yokozuna
The Rock (again only counts as half)
Batista (half Philipino...last I checked they are Polynesian, and the Greek part counts as white)
Jimmy Snuka

Latino (4):
Eddie Guerrero
Rey Mystero Jr.
Pedro Morales
Tito Santana

Asian/Oriental (3):
Antonio Inoki
Great Muta
Masato Tanaka

Let me know if I missed anyone or if you have any dissputes.

Antonio Inoki is not Latino, he is Japanese.

Pedro Morales held the WWWF Championship.

Also, I don't remember reading about the Sheik holding anything other than national level titles within the NWA. Not sure about the AWA though.
