It sounds small when you put it that way, but try looking at the same stats from the other side: 37% of Americans aren't white, but only 21% of editors aren't. Or to put it another way, white people are twice as likely to become editors as non-white people. That's not a small difference.
And men are how much more likely to become firemen? And women are how much more likely to be flight attendants? And men or how less likely to be in marketing?
For the life of me I can't understand why people insist on having equal representation in every industry. It'd be on thing if there were numbers proving a massive backlog of people of a certain race/gender wanting positions in a field but unable to get them. It's another entirely when there's no demand, and we insist on artificially generating it to make people feel warm and fuzzy that every job on the planet has equal representation across race/age/gender.

how many chinese restaurants are run by non-chinese?
these stats don't make any sense, if you just look at them that way.
maybe whites like being editors more…
if you don't find the reason, you won't find the solution.
