Most of the Semiconductor companies are made up of Minorities: Ethnic Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Filipino, Indian, Paki, Bangladeshi, etc. Unfortunately it seems like most those of European extraction have chosen to avoid the Engineering disciplines - I suppose because the schoolwork is hard, and the financial rewards may be slow in coming (everyone wants to be a lawyer, or an investment banker whiz ... or just to slack off in College). Merit is what gets you hired in Silicon Valley, nothing else.
The software/programming companies might be predominantly descendants of the European Japheth line - I wouldn't know - but not so the Semiconductor Engineering (the 'real' Silicon Valley) companies.

“Jacksons strategy borrows from the traditional civil rights era playbook of shaming companies to prod them into transformation”
Or he is borrowing from the traditional mafia playbook of extorting them out of some money.

They will hire as soon as they can find some blacks who can read cursive.

Is Silicon Valley less diverse than the National Basketball Association?
Is the median NBA salary less of a living wage than the median Silicon Valley salary?
Ditto the National Football League.
