color by number

From an article in the 10/31/05 Christian Science Monitor:

98 - Percentage of Fortune 500 CEOs who are white.
95 - Percentage of Fortune 500 top earners who are white.
40 - Percentage of minority women who feel excluded and constrained by the need to "act white."
More than 1/3 - Portion of minority men who feel similarly limited by "style compliance."
1/4 - Portion of businesswomen who worry they're perceived as "affirmative action" employees.
Almost 1/3 - Portion of minority female executives who are concerned that their speaking style labels them as lacking leadership potential.

And some people say racism is no longer a problem in America...
