Couldn’t part of the disparity be explained by negative self-selection on the part of White men? Do highly systemizing, intelligent White men want to work in a progressively less and less meritocratic (and less scientific, really) environment that dislikes them and will discriminate against them?
On the other hand, there is clear attractive signaling directed toward all other groups, which may lead to positive self-selection among them.
Yes, that probably is part of the explanation. What we're looking at it may be partly discrimination at the point of hiring and partly self-selection due to anticipated discrimination or hostile environment.
It would be interesting to extend your analysis to journalism, especially since journalists will report (or not report) Jacob Savage's article. It has certainly gone viral online, especially on Substack, but much less so in the MSM.
Yes, academia is among the worst offenders because of the massive left-wing skew. (I doubt there's any discrimination against white men in, say, the oil and gas industry.)

Yes, what you say is probably true, but that is still the consequence of racial sexism against white males.
Good point. It still reduces to that one cause.

Good point. It's more difficult to determine the exact distribution of journalists by race and gender, since so many are independent.

Thanks for the analysis and breakdown
"Academia does discriminate against white men"
Why would academia be any different than all the other vocations?
"America is still reasonably meritocratic."
That depends on your definition of reasonable.
"Recent discrimination against white men doesn’t show up in the overall labour market statistics."
Why would I believe government statistics, especially in the US?
Yes, academia is among the worst offenders because of the massive left-wing skew. (I doubt there's any discrimination against white men in, say, the oil and gas industry.)

Here is a video by Jared Taylor on this very subject and author, with an addendum.
