What is celebrating "breaking the color barrier" if not celebrating "diversity and inclusion" ?
That said, I prefer the military be overtly hostile to Whites so that it accurately reflects what modern America is, and Whites stay out of the military.
I can sort of see your point, because "breaking the color barrier" sounds suspiciously like the way the media uses "makes history" - the only way history is made is if you're the first X. But it's also about someone who (AFAIK, I know nothing about him) was actually competent - so no diversity in my book.
So let me pose this question: would a book on the Roman struggle of the orders, which among other things led to plebeians being allowed to become consul (and in fact favoritism as at least one of the two consuls had to be a plebeian), also DEI?
Robinson was a good player AFAIK as well, but look what we are talking about. Professional sports is nothing more than entertainment. We can easily do without it or have nothing but Whites playing it or whatever. Black athletes get used to sell bad and destructive ideas about race.

Probably not since I don't see that bit of history being weaponized against Whites today.

Which is interesting, because for an unfathomable reason, all that 'systemic racism' hasn't made its way to professional sports. Isn't 2/3 of basketball or baseball or something black?
American born black players make up 5% of the MLB. It's frequently criticized for it's lack of American black players. There are black players but most are South American or Caribbean. Baseball and Congress are holding hearings about increasing black players.
The NBA, and it used to be a lot more even, but it’s been like that for a while, in part because a lot of inner city black kids see sports as the only legal way out of the hood
Black athletes get used to sell bad and destructive ideas about race.
There’s a lot of things this entails, but I’m just curious, because I’m always trying to make sure what others think. Are we talking about the usual ghetto bullshit with rap and all the assorted nonsense, or what exactly?
That's part of it, but not really what I had in mind. Black athletes get used to sell the idea that we are missing out on something by not embracing multi-racialism, i.e. "think of wear the NBA without Jordan and Lebron" and those such arguments. Then that gets extended to all walks of life. The other downstream problem is that blacks then start asserting a preference for other blacks to coach them, as is the case in the NFL.

He wouldn't even be in the top 20 if he weren't black. It's 100% correct to remove him along with the rest of the DEI accolades.

The NBA is 70% black.

Probably basketball, and it's probably more like 3/4. Baseball isn't that black but has lots of Latinos.

Sure, he was competent at sportsball, but how is that relevant to the US Navy?
