They forgot to mention how many white/Asian male students took it in those states. I imagine it's not too many in some small states. That would change the headline, but then again, nobody would care about that headline.
No females took the exam in Mississippi (1 exam taken), Montana (11 exams taken), and Wyoming (no exams).

For states that had some females take the exam the percentage female ranged from 3.88% in Utah (4 out of 103) to 29% in Tennessee (73 out of 251). However, 30 of Tenn females can be attributed to a girls only school that offers AP CS A.
11 states had no Black students take the exam: Alaska (21 exam takers -4.3% Black by population), Idaho (47 - 0.9% Black), Kansas (47 - 6.2% Black), Maine (161 - 1.0%), Mississippi (1 - 37.3%), Montana (11 - 0.67%), Nebraska (46 - 4.5%), New Mexico (57 - 3%), North Dakota (9 - 1%), Utah (103 - 1.2%), and Wyoming (0 - 1.2%).
Why isn't this a story? Is there any research into this? Is there an effect here that we should be looking for?
