Is Big Tech Still Struggling With Diversity?

Published

on



Millions of dollars have been spent, and years have been devoted to diversifying tech workforces and being more inclusive, yet women still only make up an average of 32% of 10 major US tech companies, Latinx employees make up an average of 8%, Black employees make up an average of 7% and Indigenous employees make up an average of 0.5%. These percentages are not representative of the greater US population, according to the Census Bureau. Why are tech companies still struggling to diversify their workforces and why is it important that they do so?

CORRECTION (August 17, 2020): An earlier version of this video incorrectly characterized George Zimmerman. He was a member of the neighborhood watch, not a police officer.

    Big tech was never struggling with diversity, it was struggling with diversity hires not having the necessary skills or desire to work in tech. Turns out most women don't like looking at a command terminal 8 hours a day… who knew?

    There is no concept of diversity of in India and China. Asians were hired because they were cheap AND never complain. There was no “talent shortage”. Just expensive American workers and greedy captains of industry. Everything else people say is BS

    What CNBC doens't mention is that when companies want Diversity and Inclusion they systematically DISCRIMINATING against white people and Asians, COMPLETELY IGNORING hard work and how much you have to put in to get a First Class Major in CS, AI, Robotics or Data Science. The people who CNBC interviewed all seem to think tech workers were all given their success. Read an Incovenient Minority about Asians in tech.

    Diversity for diversity's sake is un-American.
    Diversity is not at all always a good thing.
    Just look at the Balkans.

    Q is genetic. There are indisputable differences in IQ between sexes and races.
    Knowing these facts allows one to make predictions that those who do not know these facts cannot make. These facts do not make anyone superior or lesser, just different. Everyone that is born is an evolutionary success.

    STEM requires you to have money. Can't embark in a scientific career that demands you have the PhD if your family is poor, you need to start working as soon as possible. Engineering requires you to pass a fundamentals exam after graduating, then work four years as an apprentice, and then take the professional exam and pass it before you're actually making money. Mathematics is not an easy field in which to get employment, unless you have the right connections to go into teaching right after graduation.

    I think part of how this happens is cultural nepotism, and a culture of elitism (think University names and former companies). I've seen a coworker rave about a Stanford grad where there was no other particular points of uniqueness (he was also Stanford alumni), ad this was one of many situations of the same. And I've seen many positions in tech where a hiring managers team tended to look or be from the same regions as they were.

    Lol, minorities need to earn more Stem Degrees.

  11. @Denis-ue2nz

    January 5, 2024 at 9:04 pm

    There is a problem. Representation matters. There a lot of non-tech related jobs in tech but minorities are still underrepresented in these fields. By glassdoor's metrics, 43% of jobs being hired by tech companies today are non-tech jobs. Having different perspectives is good and helps better represent the people that use the products. The problem isn't diversity. It's hiring discrimination.

  12. @zhaojin7138

    January 5, 2024 at 9:04 pm

    I don't see the problem with the ratio of women to men. Look at these tech schools! 32% women 68% men that's exactly what an institute of technology normally holds.

    "Merit" is just another word for "Nepotism". When it comes to black ppl, if you knew what indians and asians thought of you, you will jump off a bridge. It doesn't help that thier various cultures and countries hate blacks with a passion, so it is engrained in thier DNA when they come to the US. The whole thing is systematic. If you ask any of them how do you measure "merit", you will get a beautiful racist rant based on stereotypes. As far as tech is concerned, asians and indians want only they, thier friends, family or people who speak thier dialect or look like them to have access to the industry. It is a level of nepotism and racism on a massive scale, here in tech industries

  18. @tomservo75

    January 5, 2024 at 9:04 pm

    0:51 Wait wait, you mean it's a meritocracy? People are actually hired on ability, work ethic, and talent? Well we have to stop such a white supremacist model ASAP! My jaw dropped at that. It's not a "libertarian approach," it's a common sense approach, numbnuts!

    You know given that all these Big Tech companies are so left leaning anyway, they're really reaping what they're sowing here. They and the SJWs pushing these quota systems deserve each other.

    No, it’s struggles from trying to go too hard the other way, for example, search for racist black woman, on YouTube. See what the algorithm gives you.

  20. @kartazal

    January 5, 2024 at 9:04 pm

    Why are people crazily obseessed with gender and race ? Merit is the only factor that should be considered while hiring, it is that simple ! If black people or women don’t study computee science enough, it is their choice, not white people’s crime.

  21. @okidokiyowyow356

    January 5, 2024 at 9:04 pm

    Lemme tell you why they care about diversity in tech. Well, because money. You think women will make more money on physical labor jobs? These women are princess and want to walk on red-carpet provided by men.

    One only needs to read the comments to see that racism and sexism is still a huge problem in this country.

  23. @navinnarayan1978

    January 5, 2024 at 9:04 pm

    The answer is simple : racism

  24. @ScottTrentonGiants

    January 5, 2024 at 9:04 pm

    It really starts at the root.

    Latinos and African Americans on average go to high schools that aren’t as good as the ones Caucasian people. These big tech companies have target schools that they hire from. Even if a black person or Hispanic person does super good in high school, the chances of getting accepted to a target school is still considered least than likely to happen. The people who make the hiring decisions are primarily white people who went to many of these target schools.

    We can yell at each other and say, “it’s based off of merit” but the issue isn’t necessarily merit if you were never given the chance to gain the skills or the necessities needed to become a target candidate at these companies. It’s literally that simple. It’s clearly systemic.

  28. @vamsikrishna9501

    January 5, 2024 at 9:04 pm

    The women in tech is better in India and China than in the US. Because they take STEM at college, not Gender studies or Liberal arts to complain about the lack of women in Tech. You see where the problem is?

  29. @lotusvines3698

    January 5, 2024 at 9:04 pm

    Meritocracy is the only Key. And if you think anyone is lacking than give them a kick to upskill them rather then rediculling those who have hard worked.

  31. @AkaiKnight

    January 5, 2024 at 9:04 pm

    I dont know what they're going to say what the reason is, all I know is that it wont have ANYTHING to do with what women and minorities want to do in life, and will have EVERYTHING to do with white men somehow magically controlling how these groups think, feel and do in tech. I also know they wont even attempt to try and explain asians.

  32. @jpat863

    January 5, 2024 at 9:04 pm

    im tired of hearing about all this diversity bs. How about we just hire the best workers for the job. Hiring should be skill based not hiring based on what ethnicity someone is from. Look at everyone on a equal plane and hire by skill and experience not favor someone because they fit the ethnic profile you needed to please everyone. This has become ridiculous.

  33. @m.k.s.7417

    January 5, 2024 at 9:04 pm

    I think, that there should (surely); be a BIG; HUGE Tax -cut: (INCENTIVE); for: BIG TECH.; If not ALL Tech. **and even "ALL Companies; Involved in S.T.E.M./As S.T.E.M. -Co's"**; to:
    "TRAIN -UP; then Hire: more – women, "P.O.C."; "Dis_Advantaged_Minorities"; dis_ABLED People; [Including -Physically; Learner/Learning (For instance; dyslexic/Autistic/A.D.H.D.-ers etc.) and Mentally_ dis_ABLED_ People(s)]; people; from poorer back-ground's and "Indigenous_Australasians/AfriCANs" etc._-M.K.S.

  34. @z33tanner

    January 5, 2024 at 9:04 pm

    One of the biggest propaganda peices currently being pushed by big tech is equality of outcome instead of equality of opportunity. These companies and there censorship sill go down in history.

  35. @wynton921

    January 5, 2024 at 9:04 pm

    Only white guys complain about diversity reports.

  36. @jasminecisneros5070

    January 5, 2024 at 9:04 pm

    Not surprised. You can have the best qualifications, personality, and mentality but will be overlooked because of the color of your skin. Especially in tech where a lot of money is to be made. They are looking for a specific type of individual and it is obvious it's in the color of the skin LOL…..News flash people. Skin color does NOT determine a person's attributes. But society has brainwashed people into judging appearances, before actually getting to know the individual. I already know if I am up against a White or an Asian they will choose them over me in a heartbeat.

    & It's sad because these companies are only choosing to include "diverse hires" because SOCIETY called them out on it. As opposed to them wanting or having a general interest in the candidates. It's basically a pity hire.

  37. @RockyKayboa

    January 5, 2024 at 9:04 pm

    By their own logic, the tech industry is racist towards white people, since they are underrepresented compared to the census data. If an argument has to be applied so selectively, in order to fit a predetermined ideology, could it be that the argument is flawed?

    If "diversity" is so important to these people, why is it they want to impose that all groups of people must be exactly the same on average?
    What a boring world that would be.

  38. @elforeigner3260

    January 5, 2024 at 9:04 pm

    WTF??? I live and work in Silicon Valley for decades, and I ain’t see no whites either… 99% of my coworkers has always been Indians, Mexicans, Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino, etc. Only the CEOs are white!

    January 5, 2024 at 9:04 pm

    Whites have been underrepresented. Asians have been VASTLY overrepresented. But that goes against your anti-white narrative.

  42. @mostbestjia627

    January 5, 2024 at 9:04 pm

    Whites are under represented here, they are 60% of the whole population but only 51% in tech.

Taylor Farms has been linked to cyclosporiasis and salmonella outbreaks this summer. After years of consolidation, experts say the company’s ability to control every stage of the supply chain has made it indispensable to grocers and restaurant chains, while raising the stakes for consumers when things go wrong. CNBC food and wellness reporter Brandon Gomez explains how the U.S. became so reliant on Taylor Farms.
