Are White wide receivers making a comeback in the 21st century??

Growing up as a kid 10, 15 years ago there were virtually no white wide receivers outside of Ed McCaffrey (sp?) worth a damn (maybe Ricky Proehl). I never saw one on tv until McCaffrey and the Broncos got good again (mid to late 90s). Within the past 5 years however, White WR's have made a huge comeback. Drew Bennett, Wes Welker, Mike Furrey, Brandon Stokley, Kevin Curtis, Brian Finnerman(sp?), Matt Jones, Ricky Proehl (ret.), Wayne Chrebet (ret.) have all been starters and performed really well (some better than others). Not to mention on the college level there have been some GREAT white WR's. David Ball of New Hampshire (broke Jerry Rice's all division TD record), Todd Blythe of Iowa State, that kid out at Oregon State (03, 04, 05) who broke almost all of the Pac-10 receiving records. Is football now a sport which has become less racist. We see lots of black QBs, and we're now seeing lot's of white WR's, is everything finally working back to where it should be??
