Sounds like those people aren't interested in the biomedical field. Maybe representation is indicative of desire instead of oppression.

Might as well go all the way and start caring about college enrollment and graduation rates at that point no?
That'd find gender bias. Against men.

Seems that you are advocating both for equality of outcome, and equality of opportunity. It's hard to argue for both, since in a free choice world the opportunities may not be taken up proportionally

That’s confusing causes and effects.
This paper is making the case that if a person makes it to college, they won’t be discriminated against while there. The question of whether they make it to college is a far different one.
Whether someone makes it to college and the different factors involved there are beyond the scope of this study.
Given through my decade long academic journey I barely saw any African American PIs in biomedical sciences, I don’t think that it’s a solved problem yet for other cases. Even within gender biases, the moment you include PhD enrollment and graduation rates you’ll likely see a massive difference anyway.
