You’re making some unfounded assumptions. NPR had a news story about the efforts of NYC-area fire departments’ efforts to attract more non-whites as firefighters. It’s not always discrimination that accounts for some professions being mostly white. I work in a profession that fails to attract very many non-whites, even though any blacks or Latinos are quickly moved up into management positions, regardless of their competence.
