How in the world are they finding that minorities for tech jobs? Normally it is a 15-1 ratio for finding females in IT and they are not normally techies. Former DOD, maybe?

From personal experience, if you have a requirements management lead, software tester (just follow the script), configuration manager, documentation generator and so forth, those jobs tend to go to a female so the project can say “we have women in the IT department”. Likewise with phone support, often female.
Actual female coders and software developers are rare.
Spoken as a female in IT.
