Chapter 7:


Race/Ethnicity

The distribution of race/ethnicity by gender for FY 2000 USCG and overall DoD Active Component enlisted members along with the applicable civilian comparison group is shown in Table 7.3. Relative to the comparable civilian population, the USCG enlisted force was more likely to be White (82 and 70 percent, respectively) and less likely to be Black (6 and 12 percent, respectively) or Hispanic (7 and 13 percent, respectively). Furthermore, compared to the overall DoD enlisted force, the USCG is more likely to enlist Whites and less likely to enlist minorities, particularly Blacks (6 percent Blacks in the USCG vs. 22 percent Blacks in the DoD).
