#imma say it again because it keeps happening and i have no ❤️ else to complain to but#within the environmental science/ atmospheric science realm there is such a lack of latino and black students.#like i wanna say in california at the schools I've been looking at 50-60% are white mostly males too and like 30% are east asian 10% are#s asian and like like less than 10% are latino and I've seen like 2 grad students who are black#and like don't get me started on out of state schools cuz ithe percentages get even small for minorities and larger for the white population#and all the pages have this diversity and inclusion section where they're like we want people from a variety of backgrounds and shit but we#don't see that in your student groups in your faculty in your outreach toward these communities#all the students come from these amazing universities and like how are you getting different perspectives when your outreach toward#undergraduates and graduates is so bad#like i know it depends on how you connect with the professors and stuff but its so intimidating to email a professor when the only kids#they've accepted in their cohorts are there these students with tons of experience and while at say my college we did research but not to#the same extent#we gotta do better in these programs#the people most affected by these climate and environmental problems are black brown and indigenous people#start playing up that first gen low income historically underrepresented group lines#will probably delete later but whatever#just wanted to rant
