The truth on philosophy and access?

Question

What is the current status on philosophical access? Is it still mainly a white anglo-saxon elite educated/accessible field? Surely there are women who engage in philosophy and those of other ethnic backgrounds within the western tradition, but in order to be taken seriously...?
