"The 2010 Census reported that 63.7 percent of America is white; 12.6 percent is black; 16.3 percent is Hispanic or Latino and 4.8 percent is Asian. Sixty-four percent of America is white, 36 percent is not. However, The Radio Television Digital News Association reports that, as of 2011, 79.5 percent of all TV News jobs are held by white Americans, while 20.5 percent are held by minorities of any kind" -- This article proves the point that the mis-understanding of statistics, or the actual mis-representation of them, can by twisted to conform to any ideoulogy or belief.

The true reason the colored community is under represented in almost every segment of positive society is a result of state of origin not final condition. To satisfy the true supposition would require the statistics showing the percentage of the color populations that actually attend and complete the educational requirements to achieve those positions. We then need to address the reasons for that discrepancy.
