When Maxine Waters, the Democratic representative from southern Los Angeles, toured Silicon Valley during the first week of May with fellow members of the Congressional Black Caucus, she was blunt about the technology industry’s lack of progress hiring black employees. Waters, standing at a lectern in front of a wall of windows at Lyft’s offices in San Francisco, said she was “floored” to learn that black workers make up 1 or 2 percent of the workforce at several prominent tech companie

And I know how to throw a worthless race mongering pant load out of my place of business.
Translation: Give me your money and I’ll shut up.
Mad Maxine is a TDS-deranged, racist, hatemongering kakistocrat.
Why are so many high-tech company founders and CEOs white males? Silicon Valley must be the most racist place on Earth.
You look at the videos made by the Computer History Museum, and it’s all white males. Bunch of racists. Transistors and IC chips must be racist too.
Meritocracy, the anathema of affirmative action.
Merit is ENTIRELY colorblind. Not so “affirmative action”, deliberately hiring incompetents and promoting them far beyond their level of expertise.
Not a recipe for continued success. And especially not for the “affirmative action” hires, who soon flounder and wander around in an endless fever swamp of their own making.
No surprise there. They do expect you to work, to be responsible and to not be on drugs.
A simple fix, merely lower the hiring standards.
According to 2015 US Census Bureau estimates, California's population was 72.9% White, 6.5% Black or African American, 14.7% Asian, 1.7% Native Americans, 0.5% Pacific Islander and 3.8% from two or more races.
So, you're looking at a black population half the national average and an Asian population three times it. That's before you even start to filter by experience and skill set. It isn't really that complicated.
And the fact that men named women’s body parts has some feminists in a tizzy. Insane!
many of them don’t hire other Americans, too... preferring instead of import more and more “cheaper” and “more compliant, obedient” (since many lack papers in USA)...workers from communist China, etc.
have seen some TOP graduates from TOP USA universities denied even interviews...or even simple responses (thank you but we don’t need you?) to their job applications
apply from communist China (or India if you code stuff) and you’ll be actively recruited, hired immediately?
... for people of color, while maintaining hiring standards for whites and Asians.
Surely there can't be anything to "The Bell Curve" can there?
Harder is true when these companies find hiring illegals, H1B, H2B, and others so much easier and cheaper. I have little sympathy for these companies in general. Hire in your community, hire Americans, pay a good wage, and train as needed. As we go into the summer, at the right wage, there are plenty of legal, American workers.
I visited a company today and was told there are no good workers to hire. Those unemployed are not employable.
In Morristown Tennessee there is pretty much full employment
Then there's Breakdown of PhD degrees, by field and race/ethnicity. In 2012, there were 1,845 Computer Science PhD's graduated. Want to guess how many of them were black? 34.
In mathematics, out of 1,702 PhD's, 23 were black. In physics, 26 out of 1,871.
Then hire nearby, import AMERICANS, not foreigners. There are workers elsewhere that need jobs.
I’m with Auntie Maxine on this one. The sooner Big Tech begins to diversity hire the quicker their empires will collapse.
