The number of minorities in almost every professional job is low...and it really is sad. I know there are a lot of programs (especially by lawyers) to try and encourage black students to consider becoming attorneys. I do wonder exactly what it is that keeps minorities from pursuing these jobs (outside of financial the financial strain of paying for school). I know that everyone I told that I was going to law school (even black people) were telling me why and I couldn't do that...it was a white profession, etc. I think it really is sad that after all these years a lot of minorities still have this mentality.
