Yeah I was thinking something like that, because as the article said 81% of all workers are white - simplified it means 8/10 are white - and these 33 jobs (out of how many?) have 9/10 ratio - does that really mean discrimination or is this story just a filler hit piece against perceived injustices that don't actually exist?

- daemin 13y agoWithout knowing how many jobs there are total it doesn't sound fully like a "isn't this curious" piece. At best I'd put it with the "50 weird things about the 80's" type of piece. At worst it could detrimentally affect those professions in the name of progress.
