Interesting. The college I'm employed at has a large fire training complex, and we graduate dozens of new firefighters for departments across Northern California every year. Now, in California, whites are technically no longer the majority (all of the minorities combined make up about 52% of the population last time I checked) but whites make up 80% to 90% of the programs graduates. I once asked one of the instructors why that is, and his answer was curt and to the point.

"They just don't apply."
