Why, percentage-wise, are there dramatically fewer black physicists than black Americans?

It might have something to do with:

1. Blacks have lower IQ's than Asians and Whites.

2. Too many blacks think that it is too white to study.

3. There are too few blacks that know who their father is, let alone to have a father to encourage them to study.

Case in point: There are no black people in any of my Intro to Programming/Engineering/Comp Sci classes...

The only minorities in said classes (in order of frequency): Oriental, Hindu, Arab, Hispanic (Native American/White)

3. There are too few blacks that know who their father is, let alone to have a father to encourage them to study. Problem is the mothers don’t know who the father is!
