"probably mostly sub-concious decisions made on out-dated stereo-typing"

That's what makes me uneasy about this proposal - it is all premised on the belief that the reason for a lack of black managers is because of "out-dated stereo-typing".

I'm not sure what that's based on, other than "well it must be, mustn't it?"
