. . . you look at the audiences at classical concerts from various minority communities, and, indeed, the orchestra is more or less a reflection of its audience. To me, this indicates that there is perhaps not even a pool of players within minority communities which even corresponds to a given community's distribution in society. IOW, the proportion of minority players auditioning for plum orchestral jobs doesn't even equal that minority's proportion in society - because classical music is not a "thing" in certain minority communities. Why isn't there an outcry for more white people to be represented in the rap music industry?
And then of course there's the elephant in the room: Asian players. Why are Asians so well represented when, a hundred and fifty years ago, they were being used for slave labor (in everything but name) to build much of the railroad structure in this country, and, as recently as WWII, were being put in concentration camps (sorry, internment camps!) here? Why are white people now so comfortable around Asian players and not around black players? Or is that really even true? There could be a lot of white musicians who just kind of "feel guilty" about the current state of race relations, and who thus can be exploited in the larger goals of the "quota industry".
