Or maybe I should put in my résumé with the majors and get hired to test your theory. Last I check I think 90% of pilots in majors were white males.
Most Asians are not considered minorities in the US. Your ancestral culture has the right chemistry to fit in, thrive, and excel...as much or more so than the European founders of this nation. That's a good thing.
The reason 90% of pilots are white males (I think it's closer to 80%) is because middle-class white male youth culture is into things like airplanes and model rockets. Same reason certain sports are dominated by certain cultural groups (hoops, hockey).
It's not that minorities are excluded, it's that they are not interested.
Or like so many other fields, they're at an educational disadvantage and can't qualify for the "good" jobs.
The solution is not to hire under-qualified people on a quota basis, the solution is to fix the education system.
