Must have a heck of a business card
not quite.
the firms are largely staffed by Chinese and Indian immigrants (legal and otherwise)
a good number of the companies are majority Asian, too
“white” USA citizens are hired but pretty much only if they’re under 30 years old. after that, they are often considered too old and outdated for SillyCon Valley employment
ps: many American “white males” with advanced degrees from the leading universities cannot even get interviews in SillyCon Valley, more or less get job offers there. This has included some at the very top tier of their class.
Reasons include the strong preference for Asian workers....
hire the under qualified along with GPA's of 1 to 2 and it will change real fast... and so will the quality of productWhites and men have libs collectively clutching thier pearls. You know, I wonder what they’d do if ever faced with real problems?
It balances out the lack of whites in China and the Middle Easterns in India.
I used to work in an IT shop that had a fair number of blacks in it. Interestingly almost every single one of the actually productive ones was born and raised outside the US.
It’s not race that’s the problem, it is what AMERICAN BLACK CULTURE produces. The culture is the problem.
“When it gets down to it, the broader conversation about the gender, racial and gender makeup of the tech workforce is one about fairness.”
Silly me, I thought it was supposed to be about whether you can code software and design hardware.
I’ve been re-educated.
Let’s see if we can make some predictions of what will happen if the shakedown artists and the fairness pimps get their way.
1. Hi tech companies whose workforce is mainly in the US will either move their operations to Asia or if they decide to remain in the US will fail.
2. Companies that already have operations overseas will increase them there.
3. Many Asians (Chinese, Indians) that are currently working in high tech companies here will go back home and start businesses there.
4. Fewer smart whites will go into the high tech field (just like they’ve abandoned medicine). They will go in some field that hasn’t yet been targeted by the fairness pimps, like finance or law, or perhaps migrate to the newly created overseas Silicon Valleys.
5. Housing prices in the Bay Area will start to decline
6. ?
Men have been completely chased out of the social science fields by by the 60% of college graduates who are female. They gotta go somewhere.
Sounds like they forgot to look at their guest workers.
Quinn is an idiot that writes propaganda, nothing more.
Yeah, its all about diversity, not product quality or innovation.
Keep repeating that until your company goes bankrupt. Just like Detroit.
IQs track more closely to the mother than the father. Affirmative action programs have become largely a scam for people with African-American fathers/non-African-American mothers to get a special set aside based on their looks rather than their need.
So let’s see we are told when we are younger we can be anything we want to be. We choose our own path. Now its our race that must choose what profession we go into because a certain field lacks this or that? This is where this is heading just bring in public quotas and be done with it. Its always been there now they just need to say what percentage of their work force must be male, female and skin color. Discrimination has gone totally 180 degrees backward.
The trend, now, is for college’s and universities to combine a Bachelor degree with a Master degree. Pretty soon you will need a Master’s degree to get hired anywhere. I know it’s that way in the government as I peruse through the IT ads at usajobs.com. Bachelor degrees are becoming more and more like high school graduation diplomas. Yeah you need one but in the end they are worthless. Good thing I started an alternative career and am following that, making more in a month than I could in a year with my IT degree from DeVry.
I worked 35 years for a premier IT company. As a simple statement of fact Blacks, Native Americans and Latinos were nearly non-existent in the important technical positions. For the most part, if your company’s existence was riding on the results a White or Asian guy was doing the technical work. Women were present, but at that moment when the SHTF it was a guy doing the work. On many occasions I saw incredible flashes of brilliance as people solved problems under incredible pressure.
