If Ms. Rice truly wants the federal employment to reflect the racial composition of the United States, she will be in favor of:

- An immediate DECREASE in the number of African-Americans in the federal workforce (over represented by 4.8%)

- An immediate DECREASE in the number of Asian American/Pacific Islanders in the federal workforce (over represented by 1.0%)

- An immediate INCREASE in the number of Hispanics in the federal workforce (under represented by 9.0%) (This number is suspect as the Census enumerates persons and employment in the federal government requires citizenship - well, atleast for the moment.)
