WE HAVE A MERITOCRACY. THE RESULTS CAN BE ALARMING

The Braden files is running a little survey he took at high end research to discover who was there and who wasn't.

Here is a pattern I've noticed in countless organizations at the high end of the research spectrum. In the personnel lists, certain groups are phenomenally over-represented with respect to their appearance in the general American population: Chinese, Koreans, Indians, and, though it doesn't show in the above lists, Jews.

So when it's plain ability you find no blacks, no Hispanics, no Native Americans and almost no women. Think the bean counters will dare move in on this. No, because the research will leave this country in a microsecond.
