While I like to think that someday we will be desegregated, I don't think it will ever be 50/50 in most organizations, just because that's not what the population breakdown is. The 2000 census said that 12.3% of the US population is black, 3.6% is Asian, and 75.1% is white. About 13% of the population, mostly whites, is Hispanic. Of course, these numbers vary dramatically by region of the country. I am pretty certain that the Asian population here in Seattle is a lot more than 4%.
Still, I'd like to see a day where race doesn't matter, at least as far as GLO membership. While there's progress out there, there's not always as much as we'd like.
