text: “Amazing how it falls under ‘academic freedom’ when a black (woman) spews this extreme bigotry yet everyone knows if a straight white male said anything close to that they would be rightfully fired.”  There are many who would agree with this statement. I wonder if perhaps some individuals with a PhD go into other fields that earn more money. Perhaps that is why the statistics are what they are. Maybe it's also partially a result of the preponderance of older Caucasians living in the U.S. and in a generation, the census mix and make-up of professors will be different. Totally agree with Keala's comment that there would be more value in looking at character and not skin color.
