This is terrible. More black people are struck by lightning, than earn a CS Phd?
"over the last 30 years (1989-2018) the U.S. has averaged 43 reported lightning fatalities per year. Only about 10% of people who are struck by lightning are killed, leaving 90% with various degrees of disability"
https://www.weather.gov/safety/lightning-odds https://www.weather.gov/safety/lightning-odds
13.2% of the US population is black.
https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/IPE120218 https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/IPE120218
So expected is about 6 black people killed by lighting, and 60 struck/year vs 13 who graduate with CS Phd if these stats are correct.
