- rospaya 5y agoIt's not that rare - Iraq, South Africa, Liberia.
- smt88 5y agoI think we're using different terms here. To me (and, I suspect, to Gitlab), "underrepresented" means "present in lower proportions than in the general population". South Africa, to use one of your examples, has a majority Black African population (80%), but business management is overwhelmingly White[1] (67%). That means Black African people are simultaneously the majority of the country and also underrepresented minorities that struggle with systemic, institutional racism. 1. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-48123937 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-48123937
