Management, especially upper management, of large American companies is predominantly white men. Always has been. It was even more so back when Adams was supposedly suffering from this discrimination than it is today.

Any claim that racism against white men is common has to reconcile this fact. If the system is so biased against them, how do they end up so incredibly overrepresented? Are they so much better than everyone else that they get most of the spots despite this unjust discrimination? Or maybe the bias actually goes the other way.

In the 80s, the US was 80% white, and upper management is going to be people from the 1930s-40s, when the US was 90% white.

  • Just glossing over the “men” part....

    And do you think upper management was more or less than 90% white?
