Being a "hot" minority is not a passport to the top, despite what the previous posters have said.
I have found that the networks are more interested in my blonde and/or white peers. The last two female hires at ABC News for example were white women, one blonde and one brunette.
(And yes, I am smart, I know how to write and I write well. I can do a live shot with my eyes closed and I have a j-school degree)
Mostly it is just luck in this business. :-)
