I grew up in Bentonville. It's where all the upper management and Wal*Mart bigwigs live. When I graduated high school, we had 3, yes just 3, black students in the entire school of about 1,000 kids. There were lots of Latinos, but very few whose parents worked at the home office, even fewer were in leadership roles. Wal*Mart is a very white and very male corporate culture, and it shows in how they run the company.
My mom started at Wal*Mart as the personal secretary of an executive VP. He was an attorney who represented corporations against unions. He was nice, personally, but had some serious judgement issues and was a very hardcore Christian. Mom still works at Wal*Mart, we've learned not to discuss it.
