I went to this article: http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Dozens-complain-about-police-at-Berkeley-council-5961763.php

Then I searched UCB's racial makeup: http://diversity.berkeley.edu/undergraduate-students-current-census

Undergraduate Students: Current Census

In 2012, 3% of current undergraduate students are African American, 39% are Asian, 13% are Chicano/Latino, 1% are Native American/Alaskan Native, less than 1% are Pacific Islander, 29% are White, and 5% are Other/Decline to State. Women outnumber men in most race/ethnic groups, with the largest gender gap occurring in Chicano/Latino current undergraduate students. (How to understand the dashboard)

Of COURSE a UC Berkeley protest isn't going to include a ton of minorities.
