I think this discussion is about 2 or 3 decades out of date.
Currently the issue isn't whether you are black, white, hispanic, or whatever. It's whether you are male or female. Women have taken over in the high schools and colleges. University enrollment is almost 2/3rds female nationwide and the gap is growing.....
Our problem right now isn't race, it's gender. Boys are dropping out in droves and at very early ages.
If you go into any government office right now you will see most of the employees will be women. I routinely go into offices now where there will be 20 or 30 women working and zero men. The men serve as janitors and gardeners. It's all they are qualified for.
Problem is getting worse and public school administrators are totally blind to the issue.
Generally this is a good rule halo. But Mac OS X is a big exception.
5 years ago I predicted that MS would be gone and OS X would be the only widely available user friendly operating system (of course, the various Unix derivatives are going to survive and be healthy, but niche, players for many decades to come.. in fact Mac OS X is built on one of them, Mach 3 Unix, and is dependent on this programmer base for it's depth and stability).
I was obviously wrong in that prediction but "better late than never".
