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).
