Unfortunately for diversity devotees, a review of hiring in Wired reveals that such hidden talent among underrepresented minorities in the Black and Hispanic community is nearly nonexistent.

In the all-important field of technical workers such as software developers, the share of black and Latino workers rose less than one percent since 2014 when the big bucks diversity push began (the proportion of women did, however, rise substantially).

Yes, tech executives can tout progress, but this is deceptive since the burgeoning number of hires overall post-2014 means that the blacks and Hispanics workforce must be sharply expanded just to keep proportions steady (Facebook during this period quadrupled its workforce).

Would employing workers from historically under-represented groups give U.S. firms an edge when competing against Chinese rivals? Alas, claims regarding the diversity benefit seem over-heated rhetoric. One data-free claim, for example, asserts that upping diversity would add an additional $400 billion in revenue to the tech industry. As these advocates put it, “…more diverse companies, we believe, are better able to win top talent and improve their customer orientation, employee satisfaction, and decision making, and all that leads to a virtuous cycle of increasing returns (italics added for emphasis).” Yes, profitable companies may relish diversity but equally plausible is that ample profits versus being almost broke permits the luxury of diversity while polishing corporate images.

If the diversity mania goes unchallenged, American Big Tech may slowly lose its edge as consumers gravitate to better software and communications gear built in China though engineered by Americans unable to advance up the Google or Apple career ladder (paid for by China of course). When you consider the stakes here, one can only suspect that China is secretly funding the diversity push.

“Less than a week later, Google was more specific: allocating $175 million to sharply increase the number of black Google executives (30% by 2025)…”

Can you spell wishful thinking? Google better have a humongous human resources department because when you are a high tech company, the only place to bury untrained and unskilled people hired for the color of their skin to tout your diversity is the human resource department which requires no tech skills and where they can to the least harm.

” Have Google, Apple, Oracle and others, unlike their Chinese rivals, recently discovered that a diverse workforce builds a better supercomputer?”

This “diversity” isn’t supposed to help them do anything better, except sell their products to woketivists, because it’s just a marketing scheme.

“Google was more specific: allocating $175 million to sharply increase the number of black Google executives (30% by 2025), upping the firm’s anti-racism efforts”

Wait wait. The blacks are only 12% of the US population. OOh I know what they are doing. Give 30% to Hispanics, 30% to Asians, and 10% to white transgenders and gays. There, fixed that problem.

Read the % of foreign workers that is being hired over Americans.
