This is probably the most idiotic, moronic, ignorant claim of racism I have ever been subjected to. To blame Silicon Valley for the lack of black employees is to blame the NBA for the lack of white players. They even let on to what the problem may be in the dearth of black employees represented within Silicon Valley by alluding to the related story posted at the original link about the need to draw more blacks to tech in order to get more of them competent enough to be hired.

Anyone who lives here knows this guy is obviously counting middle easterners and indians as white.

I'd be surprised if people of european heritage make up any more than 60% of high tech employees in SV.

I have always found White, Indian, Asian, Jewish and (gasp) Iranian engineers to be very competent.

Other groups have many individuals who could excel as well.
I suspect that the reason they do not is cultural and poor parenting, mainly lack of a working father who strives to succeed and instill the same values into his children.

The breakup of the traditional family is a disaster!

The welfare state is a disaster. It exists chiefly to allow democrats to be elected. They have created a slave class who feels they must vote democrat or starve.

The education system is a disaster. It needs to cost far less and needs far fewer Marxist Profs teaching useless subjects.

The problem with the facial recognition system might not be due to racism, but rather to the problems with the low resolution of the camera. It would be easier to see features on a light background than a dark one.

It must be because of racism, because every Hollywood movie and TV show I’ve seen in the last 20 years features a black “computer genius.” Why aren’t they hiring those guys? Racism, I tell you. Hollywood wouldn’t lie.

This one comes up periodically in one form or another. I remember when I was in college on my CSC major there was a big discussion going on in the industry trying to figure out why there were so few black people on any side of the equation, using software, making software, studying software. It ain’t racist but it is a mystery.

So what? They don’t want to put in the effort and sacrifice it takes to educate themselves to get these jobs. So do a lot of whites and every other race. Most people don’t train themselves to be able to do a job that is highly technical.

When will I see a piece from the MSM lamenting there is way, way, way too few whites in professional football and basketball? Given the demographics there should be 70 percent white players. Obviously the NFL and NBA are raciat towards whites, by libtard logic.

I give up! Just hand every minority a piece of paper saying he or she can be whatever he wants. No education, no effort, no ability required. It’s easier than the dog and pony show we’re putting on now.

Liberalism is a mental illness. It is racist, deceiptful, mean and stupid. Silicon Valley’s techies and CEO’s are Liberals. It’s fine with me if their mad dog bites them after they have fed it. I hope it tears them limb from limb. Maybe they will learn about liberalism and then run to Austin for safety.
