It sounds similar because they are similar. Namely, too few qualified blacks are interested in being cops and too few American kids study electrical engineering/computer science. Look at the EE/CS class structure at America's engineering schools and you'll see a high percentage of Asians (which for whatever reason is not true in Civil, Mechanical, and Chemical Engineering).

In a similar vein, you don't see many blacks playing ice hockey, lacrosse, skiing or swimming, yet you see a lot playing basketball and football. Culturally different people are attracted to different things.
