A few presents came in the 'ole inbox recently - the breakdown by race/ethnic group from the last E-9 and E-8 boards from FY09 and FY10.
To make things easy and to help smooth out some of the statistic bumps, I have combined all four data sets. Sorry they don't have the stats for non-Hispanic whites, but you can figure it out. The overall numbers were ~1/3+ minority.
The first bar is the average for all, and the long horizontal black line carries it across. The shaded area is one standard deviation from the average.
The numbers speak for themselves. Sorry I can't get this smoother, but the order of the bars are "All, Minority, Female, Two-fer, American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian, Black/African American, Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, mixed, Hispanic." Oh, a Two-fer is a minority female.
What does this tell us? Well - though I would love to let a dozen interns pick each eligible person apart to identify racial self-identification fraud (something we have identified here before through Flag Rank) - it tells me that of all the millions to billions of taxpayer dollars we spend on the Diversity Industry ... what for?They love to use numbers and count beans ... so I'll play their game. If you think there is institutional racism, then it must be against Asians and for the non-Haole.
If we go back to Asian and Pacific Islander by combining the two ... then it is all a wash.
Non-problem solved ... can we get back to work now? Oh, I know you will have to cut off millions to billions of dollars in payouts for the Diversity Industry, Grievance Industry, and all that BA/NMP you have promoting sectarianism out there .... OK, I'll let you keep 20% of them - just because Gen X, Gen Y, and Millennials hate to see Boomers totally lost in the future. We'll let you have a little of your '70s until you depart; then we'll fix things once your power is mostly gone.
