Had it been 5 men and 1 woman you wouldn't even have thought about it.

- msm_ 4y agoI don't know why you're downvoted. If they picked randomly there's around 21% chance of getting a distribution like this (4+ women) randomly. And 21% chance of getting 4+ men. This means that there's just about 58% chance that random distribution is "fair" with respect to race. But why focus on the gender. What about skin colour? Or maybe political preference? Do they have to be weighted to the average population too? This is of course silly - that's an newspaper article, not a scientific paper. Edit: my math was off, 12% instead of 21% (brain fog, it's 3am here). My point still stands.
