Could be that or it could be the defacto apartheid state that existed in much of this country for generations. Or it could be the Murder of many of that community's leaders (lest we never forget MLK, Medgar Evers, et al were murdered for expecting this country to live up to its charter).

Perhaps, maybe.....

I see 2 chicks and maybe 3-4 minorities. Hard to tell sometimes.

I read it on infowars so I am certain this is true.

I stopped reading days ago. No matter what side you’re on it’s an unwinnable debate. But griping gets you nowhere when trying to get hired.....

A certain demographic of this country was given a 240 year head start. Minorities help build a country that wasn’t designed for us to succeed. I know plenty of black/latino/asian/female pilots still at the regionals waiting for their opportunity. Interesting to note, not one of them has complained or made excuses as to why they have not been given a shot. You read these forums, the majority of the ones making excuses fall into the 95% category. Interesting how that works…

Apparently for some here, that’s too many?

Plenty of us are first generation, can't use that reason forever.
