What about the rest of you?
Silicon Valley companies, big and small, should follow Google's lead and disclose demographic information about their workforces.

White GUYS? Try lots of H1B1 Visa holding Asians who are either work 80 Hrs week for 40 Hrs pay or back to your shit hole with a rice bowl.
LOL... yup
Indeed. Looking in 20 CFR 655 and 20 CFR 656(and the law that enables them) has been enlightening in all the wrong ways.
Silicon Valley firms are a lot less homogenous than the NBA.
“But in movies, the computer genius is a Black man...”
Add the guy from Terminator II; he’s the first instance I can remember. Maybe Silicon Valley threw those characters in there to keep the NAACP off their trail...
“Most of the hardware is done by whites and asians. places like google and ebay and Facebook like young white males...preferrably under 40”
Great; the gender police will be on this like white on rice. Expect shares to drop a bit as a force of minority and female token are hired to make these companies “look like America”. Every company, under threat of federal lawsuit, has to employ their share of the unemployable...
Damn, I forgot about him. I’m not sure if Morpheus from The Matrix counts or not.
naaahhhh nobody in the Bay Area cares. This who write software are a different breed altogether and pretty much everyone else ignores them. The over 40s have been complaining and suing for years. Doesn’t help much. When you are 20 and the CEO you think others aren’t as smart as you.

Many of them are white; they have no voice anyway. Those companies will be forced to take on their allotment of tokens or else...(unless of course they’ve already paid off the Rainbow Coalition and such).
nah... they hire the obligatory Indian and a few Chinese grad students and then they are good
“nah... they hire the obligatory Indian and a few Chinese grad students and then they are good”
In the court of racial politics, that simply won’t suffice; those groups are considered “white”, and are reviled by the left because they demonstrate the failures of our own education system...
In California that is more than good enough....I know you think you understand Silicon Valley but you really don’t
Easy there, Richard; I know little about Silicon Valley but plenty about CA and the country today.
no you don’t....
