Don't worry, now there will be Asian boys too. But seriously, just because a class or club disproportionately attracts one sex or ethnic group does not mean it is inequitable. There are lots of college majors with a preponderance of females (and overall there is a preponderance of women getting BA's), and I rarely read of those fields being accused of discrimination.
