> Academia has obviously been historically discriminatory, and due to the massive problems with the structure of US universities it still has all sorts of problems. Which problems, in particular? At the big land grant school I attended in the 1990s minority representation in classes and teaching positions exceeded their demographic representation in the surrounding area. Fast-forward 30 years and the same is true at the big school my kid is attending now with the notable exception of one minority.
