Yet, and white people in general are 61% of the U.S.
population.
They're 61% of the population.
But white men are 30%.
And yet...
65 to 70% of United States senators are still white men.
55% of U.S.
Congress people are white men.
70 to 75% of CEOs are white men.
The percentage of businesses receiving angel investments who are white men, 75%.
In Silicon Valley...
60 to 70% of leadership roles are held by white men, okay?
So they are doubling their population share in all of the places of power.
And this is an under, and when you look at what percentage, African-Americans are 11 to 12% of the population, but get less than 1% of angel investments.
Let me say that again, it's not less than 1%, not even 1% of angel investments go to companies owned by black people.
So the reality is white men, think about Hollywood, for instance, California, which is 40% Latino, about 20% Asian, it's very Asian, it's only about like 6% Black, but white men in California are a super minority, okay?
They are maybe 20 some odd percent of the population in California.
And yet the writers rooms in Hollywood are like 90% white men.
combat comedy special where people were joking about lynching and George Floyd.
The writer's room was 100% white and almost all white men were writing those.
