Ahh, some things never change, do they? To recruit "people of color" into the industry, there must be intelligent, trained and experienced individuals to choose from. If there are not, all the Jesse Jacksons in the world won't change the situation.

The statistics here are surprising. At Twitter, “more than 60 percent” of the employees are white while at Facebook the number is 57 percent. What about the other 40% and the other 43%? Methinks they’re mostly of Indian, Chinese, and Japanese origin. Not much of a case for any racial discrimination, but a very big one for ability discrimination. Looks like the Rev. JJ wants AA for a bunch of nitwits and morally challenged, regardless of ability and integrity.

Carried to its logical conclusion, to be intellectually honest, we need to collect this data for ALL jobs, and then make appropriate personnel decisions.

From what I see in major cities around the country, very few white men are employed by public transportation systems. These jobs tend to be union, good paying jobs.

Anecdotal evidence in California, is that when you go in a government office, very few if any white men are employed. It’s not common to see white women either. Most of the employees are some minority group or other. Again, these jobs tend to be union, with good pay and good benefits.

My take on it is that the likes of Jesse Jackson act as if illegal discrimination is the only reason why few minorities are found in some job categories. While he ignores some major job categories in which minorities are clearly over-represented.

If we are to be intellectually honest, Jesse Jackson can’t have it both ways.

I wonder if someone could petition ole Jesse to divulge the diversity in his little shakedown coalition?
