In Reply to: All I can say is, that doesn't match my own anecdotal experience posted by Chris from Lafayette on September 14, 2020 at 01:15:10:
I would expect the number to be even higher today. And because of the substantial immigration to the U.S. since WWII many Asians born in the U.S. were of parents or grandparents of Asian immigrants that came well past any of the Chinese slaves (they were slaves for all practical purposes) or Japanese who suffered the concentration camps of WWII. So I thinkit is fair to point out that comparing Asian representation in American orchestras to that of African Americans simply doesn't apply.
I think it is very fair to point out that the disparity is far more likely due to cultural differences that are internal than external racism. However it is clear by the profound change in the complexion of modern orchestras today well after the common use of blind auditions shows us that the extent of raicism and sexism inherent in the process ran very deep. And so long as initial and final auditions are not done blind it will continue to influence orchestral hirings.
