We are starting to accumulate decent statistics on statisticians.

If you're going to post pics, surely you checked other Ivy League schools too. Respectively: Harvard, Penn faculty, Penn PhDs students, Oxford-Princeton workshop,





But how about this!: Conference for African-American Researchers in the Mathematical Sciences

Overall 12 women, 16 men, 12 Asians, possibly one Hispanic, 15 whites.


Thank you for highlighting my point. You can look at a picture with a large number of people and not realize that 15% of the US population is not represented in that photo. In 2013. SMH.


And your point?? Oh, I see. It MUST be racism on Yale's part. Give me a break!


Or maybe the legacy of slavery?


NP here

So the legacy of slavery is keeping my son's AA best friend from becoming a statistician? Yeah, sure. It has nothing to do with the fact that he wants to teach music and would rather major in that?

And?? Still don't get the point. Just like to state historical facts?


Meaning that maybe there are few AA in that field because AAs were discriminated against and weren't given equal opportunity or access to education as non-AAs.

What you see in the picture is a pretty accurate representation of the types of students and professors you will see in the stats department at most schools. So if you think they are underrepresented you should find a way to encourage more AAs to study statistics--I'm sure that plenty of universities would be thrilled to have them.
