Statistics "memes" along the lines of "people from X and Y are Z likely to go on to do A" are probably the most misleading and tiring factoids out there. All that they are useful for is for whiners to complain that they weren't blessed with being 6ft6 or beautiful or a certain skin colour or whatever else. In the real world people who actually achieve things just go out and do it. They're not sitting about wondering whether middle management at XYZ prefers working class kids or black supermodels.
