Blacks and Hispanics are underrepresented in the combat arms, especially in the special forces units and always have been.

My understanding is that this is true for blacks, but that Special Forces are heavily White Southerner and Hispanic.

2DV- have you ever been to the 7th Gp area? There are quite a few Hispanics assigned there.

Jeff- Ha-ha! There are a lot of Yankees in Special Forces, city-folk also. Blacks have generally not been attracted to SF for a variety of reasons. Mostly, they come from an inner-city background and do not like the idea of humping a ruck. There are those who do make it through training and into Group, but they are the exception.
