Are White people actually overrepresented when you take into account the racial demographics of the age groups likely to be in these positions of power? As the age group gets older, the demo gets Whiter.

Sailer covered this:

Of course, most of the NYT’s 922 powerful positions are held by older people. Among American residents 40 or older, 69 percent are non-Hispanic white. And many of the nonwhite residents are not citizens (in fact, some are illegal aliens, although we aren’t supposed to care about that).

So, probably a little under three-fourths of the American citizens in the relevant age range are white, and they hold four-fifths of the powerful jobs.

If you look at gentile whites only, they are under-represented in the relevant age range.
