The answer to this question is obvious, and stated in the article itself: Among blacks, two women earn bachelor’s degrees for every man. Among Hispanics, only 40 percent of college graduates are male. The article should focus on the true question -- why are so many male minorities skipping college?

Female minorities are "two-fers": they count twice on companies Affirmative Action statistics, so they are in higher demand by companies with quotas to fill. Female minorities who would otherwise have become blue-collar/pink-collar workers instead go to college because they're counting on landing a job in HR or government
