The male white profession is shining is wings again, perpetuating the past. At least there is some gender parity. It only took 50 years.
But, minority representation is still abysmal.

How so? It seems that this selection is representative of the US population, which would be the goal, no? Of these winners, 29.4% are white men. White men consist of 31% of the US population.
US demographic breakdown:
Black population 13.6%
Asian population 5.7%
Female population 50.5%
Breakdown of these published winners:
Black winners 17.6% (3/17)
Asian winners 11.8% (2/17)
Female winners 52.9% (9/17)

That's right.
Minorities consist ONLY of Asians and Blacks. I forgot.
Thank you for the clarification, Archinect

We don't know the backgrounds of all of the winners besides the assumptions we can make based on the photos. With 17 winners, it would be difficult for all minorities to be represented, but this selection, in our opinion, is doing a good job representing the community architects design for.
