60% of US leadership are White+ against 60% of the US population.

32% of US leadership are Asian+ against 6% of the US population.

Your own source fails to back you up - page 16.

The commenter was talking about promotions so I was looking at leadership % vs staff - nice change of topic though. Why is the US population a good source of comparison? Especially when these companies are full of immigrants? You need to look into your own privilege instead of blaming society friend.

It sounds like this can be seen in two ways:

1) White people are over-represented in leadership roles compared to the company as a whole.

2) Non-white people are over-represented in the company outside of leadership.

Both of these statements are true.
