Making a More Diverse, Equitable and Inclusive New York Times

  “We will set a goal of increasing the representation of Black and Latino colleagues in leadership by 50 percent by 2025.” I wonder how they arrived at the 50% figure. Rounding up, Latinos are about 19% of the US population, and Black people are around 15%. Let’s say the combined total is 35%. I’d be curious to know by what logic they are arguing for these two groups specifically to be represented so much more than their overall representation in society. These are not the only minority groups, and I see no reason to expect that this won’t come at the expense of say, Asian Americans and other less visible groups who don’t fall into Black or Latino.
