Faces of Power: 80% Are White, Even as U.S. Becomes More Diverse

These are 922 of the most powerful people in America.

180 of them identify as Black, Hispanic, Asian,

Native American, multiracial or otherwise a person of color.

Native American, multiracial or otherwise a person of color.

The most powerful people in the United States pass our laws, run Hollywood’s studios and head the most prestigious universities. They own pro sports teams and determine who goes to jail and who goes to war.

A review by The New York Times of more than 900 officials and executives in prominent positions found that about 20 percent identify as Black, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, multiracial or otherwise a person of color. About 40 percent of Americans identify with one of those groups.

Even where there have been signs of progress, greater diversity has not always translated to more equal treatment.

25 people command the largest police forces. 14 are Black or Hispanic.

While half of the 25 largest police forces are run by people of color, the shootings and killings of Black people by white officers this year are a painful reminder of systemic bias. The rise of people of color to positions of leadership has not been a guarantee against the targeting of marginalized groups.

29 prosecutors charge people with crimes in those jurisdictions. 12 are Asian, Black or Hispanic.

Almost half of the district attorneys in the cities with the largest police forces are people of color. Jackie Lacey, Los Angeles’s first female and first Black district attorney, has been criticized by the Black Lives Matter movement for resisting efforts to reduce prison populations, which often have disproportionately high numbers of Black and Hispanic people. Black Lives Matters activists have endorsed Ms. Lacey’s challenger in a closely watched race for November.

24 people lead the Trump administration. 3 are Asian, Black or Hispanic.

Of the people at the top of the 25 highest-valued companies, 6 are Asian or Black.

Fewer than a quarter of the most valuable public companies are run by people of color, and Black leaders are becoming less represented in these roles. There are now four Black chief executives running Fortune 500 companies, down from six in 2012.

Among U.S. News and World Report’s 25 top-ranked universities, none have Asian or Black leaders and only one school has a Hispanic president. While the number of Asian students at elite schools has increased, Black and Hispanic students are less represented than they were a generation ago, government data shows.

For an industry that owes much of its fortunes to Black artists, there are few executives of color in the top ranks. These are the chief executives who run the three major label conglomerates that account for roughly three-quarters of the market; the three publishers that generate the most revenue; and the two concert promoters that put on most shows, plus the heads of the six major streaming services and broadcasters.

25 people run the top TV networks and Hollywood studios. 3 are Black or Hispanic.

The heads of the five biggest movie studios by box office sales; five streaming services with the largest budgets; five television studios with the most shows in production; and five cable channels and four broadcast networks with the highest ratings reflect a trend that pervades Hollywood. White actors dominate screens, and white directors and writers are overrepresented behind the camera.

The principal owners of the teams in the country’s three biggest sports leagues are also overwhelmingly white and male, even though a majority of players in the N.F.L. and N.B.A. are people of color. Some players have even questioned the use of the word “owner” because of its slavery connotation.

431 people currently write laws in the House. 112 are Asian, Black, Hispanic or Native American, or otherwise identify as a person of color.

The current class of representatives is the most diverse ever. Nearly all of the freshmen of color are Democrats. Fourteen states, however, have yet to elect a Black, Asian or Hispanic official to Congress, according to historical data collected by the House.
