WASHINGTON, D.C., November 23, 2015 - African-American students remain underrepresented in physical science and engineering disciplines, according to a new report from the American Institute of Physics (AIP) Statistical Research Center (SRC).
The report shows that while the total number of bachelor's degrees obtained in the past decade by African-Americans has increased each year, this growth is not mirrored by increased representation in the physical sciences and engineering.
"More African-Americans are getting college degrees in all subjects, but this growth is not seen in science and engineering," said Laura Merner, a principal research associate at AIP and author of the new report. "At current growth rates it would take over 100 years before African-Americans would be equally represented in the physical sciences and engineering," she added.
Merner and her colleagues analyzed data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, a database maintained by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics. The report explores trends across 15 sub-disciplines in the physical sciences and engineering.
Overall the last decade has seen a boom of degrees granted in some disciplines. Undergraduate degrees in physics that are granted to people of all races have increased 58 percent since 2003 in the United States. At the same time, the number of physics degreed earned by African-Americans remained stagnant. African-Americans also remain significantly underrepresented in the fields of astronomy, materials science and engineering.

I told these fools in 2011 that you are an Agent Of, Racism, but their own self-hatred for being Black made them pretend to turn blind eyes toward your racist antics.

No long spun out explanation, what is a "racist". Now you know, that's not fair. Emotional people don't think, they react.
Leave the thinking to others, just let them keep spinning in place. The world will keep moving, nontheless.

Go check my profile. Then check my home life. You will find no worse racist, than me, and I am pretty surprised you hadn't figured that out yet my dear buddy.
