In our increasingly diverse society, the field of dietetics remains notably underrepresented by minority groups. According to Data USA (2021), minority dietitians comprise only 12.6% Black, 9.5% Hispanic, 6.42% Asian, 4.6% of two or more races, and a mere 0.5% American Indian, with the majority being 73.7% White. This disparity underscores the urgent need for a more inclusive approach within the dietetics profession to better serve diverse populations.
