Abstract	The United States is becoming more and more diverse, but the representation of some minority groups in physics and astronomy lags behind. Although 13% of the US population is African American or black, and 17% is Hispanic (US Census), the representation of these two groups in physics and astronomy is much lower. For this reason, African Americans and Hispanics are considered under-represented minorities (URMs) in physics and astronomy. Furthermore, the representation of Native Americans in physics and astronomy is so low that data often cannot be reported. AIP collects data on the ethnicity of physics and astronomy faculty members every four years. This report summarizes the African-American and Hispanic presence among these faculty members as of 2012.
