"The term “underrepresented minority” is widely used... However, I prefer the term “systematically marginalized groups” (SMGs) because the underrepresentation of certain people in certain places is not coincidental; it is intentional." __ says

It will be great to have a secondary axis with publications associated to decolonism or Global South issues.

Tbf.. not very surprising considering US population is over 70%+ white.. a secondary axis (although crowded) factoring in general population by race (or more accurate; applicants to those jobs by race) would give more context .. [Julie would be so proud of me☺️]

It's good to visualize your data but you also need some more statistical background info. Like how many ppl attend uni regarding "race"/gender (sry but race is just an awful term, there are no such things as race) + the statistics about the distribution of US population

This is pretty damning but I feel like without data on application rates and also qualified applicants it's lacking.
But I agree there's a blatantly obvious bias in the system.

It is amazing how the anti-affirmative action lawsuits never bring up this type of data. Those numbers did not occur by chance.

Beyond the message that is urgent to address in academia, I am just wondering why numbers do not add up to 100% for each gender?

Based on the source of the data, can you extrapolate the numbers for those faculty hired only within the last ten years?

the fact that Native folks aren’t even on the graph is telling (in the most awful, violent, erasing kind of way).

The Mexican origin population should have its own bar since we are 60% of the Latino population.
