People, for the most part, want to work with people that are “like them” or that fit a pattern that appeals to them.

I see this argument made a lot. But this argument has a huge hole in it - Chinese and Indians are also not "like them". And yet, Chinese/Indians are not underrepresented. If Hank William's theory were correct, they should be.

Any theory concerning the underrepresentation of blacks which does not distinguish between blacks and Indians is flawed.
