People from lower socio-economic classes are disadvantaged: due to lack of exposure to aviation at an early age, as well as lack of role models, motivation sources and ... well, money.
To change the filter and muddy the waters by substituting race for economic status in the analysis is a travesty.

That doesn’t seem to stop people here from complaining about how easy minorities have it in aviation or that they are “displacing” people who should have the job instead.
