WASHINGTON — The color of corporate boardrooms in America remains predominantly white, but it’s slowly changing hue.
More than half of those sitting in corporate boardrooms in 2017 are white males, 51 percent, according to a survey of the Fortune 100 corporations released Wednesday. A quarter, 25 percent, were women and 21 percent were members of minority groups, the study said.
In a 2014 survey, 63 percent of those sitting on corporate boards were white males, 23 percent were women and 18 percent were minorities.
The survey was conducted by U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez, who has regularly studied the top companies with an eye toward increasing the number of women and minorities in corporate suites.

I think more people would pay attention to his opinion if he cut off his private parts in protest. JMHO

I hope the whiny Leftist PC Babies have a good cry while I laugh at them.
Who’s going to want to put a woman on the board when she may charge you with assault, 20 years later?
Thanks to #MeToo, women are now toxic hires.
Thank feminism.
By golly and white males have most of the brains and money too.
Wonder how that happened?
In a capitalist country you need the best and brightest:-)
I would say the US senate has one too many Hispanic Pedophiles.....
Would you agree Bobby?
Well, it’s a meritocracy. Whadayagonnado?
If you are basing your corporate hierarchy decisions upon the level of pigmentation or what they do/do not have between their legs, you won’t be in business very long.
And bobby got re-elected. An upstanding honest person would have resigned but we’re talking Joisy politics here. Is he bringing this up because someone hasn’t ponied up the ‘appropriate’ kick back prior to Christmas?

Who gives a sh!t what he thinks?
A couple of weeks we had just the latest announcement of a major U.S. corporation (Honeywell, #77 on the 2018 Fortune 500 list) moving its headquarters out of New Jersey. This @sshole should spend more time working for his constituents and less time telling the companies that employ a lot of people in his state how to run their businesses.
You got a problem with white men, pendeho?
Shouldn’t corporate board member be selected according to the interests of the shareholders, not the members themselves, or demographic groups?
Selecting Board Members to match the various percentages of shareholders in a given company by race/ethnicity, gender,
or, socioeconomic level would be interesting; but, my guess is that the majority of shares in most firms are owned by “rich white men”. Choosing by demographic criteria would severely limit the chance of seating those with the most relevant mix of experience, education, foresight/wisdom, integrity, business savvy, connections, vision, and sense of fiduciary duty requisite to the best management and interests of the company.
Huh ...
I think I see the problem.
