Uber Chief Brand Officer Bozoma Saint John has called on white men to ‘make noise’ about diversity in the workplace. CNN reports that Uber chief brand officer Bozoma Saint John has called on white men to encourage diversity in the workplace during a panel at the South by Southwest film festival. “I want white men to look around in their office and say, ‘Oh look, there’s a lot of white men here. Let’s change this,'” said Saint John. She claims that it’s not the responsibility of minorities to encourage diversity: “Why do I — as the black woman — have to fix that? There’s 50 of you, there’s one of me. Ya’ll fix it. … Everybody else needs to make the noise — I want white men to make the noise,” said Saint John.
Saint John was hired to Uber in June shortly after the company faced a number of scandals, including criticism for lack of diversity amongst its executives. Uber’s former CEO Travis Kalanick resigned from the company in June, the same month that Saint John joined the company. Uber released a diversity report in March 2017 that many felt reflected poorly on the company as it showed that the company had no technical leaders who are black or Hispanic. Across non-technical leadership roles, 3.7 percent of leaders were black, and 1.2 percent were Hispanic.
Saint John criticised Silicon Vallitsor it’s lack of diversity saying “The number of African Americans in Silicon Valley is dismal.” Saint John has worked at a number of Silicon Valley companies including Apple Music where she held a marketing leadership position, “It’s not up to one company — it’s up to the entire industry to make sure that we are moving the conversation forward.

General Dynamics put their black janitor into business. They provided everything, from book keeping to the employees. He fired all the white and Hispanic employees and hired all blacks. I thought it was very racist of him. But, God got him. He had a heck of a time keeping employees as they didn’t want to work so he either had to fire them or they simply didn’t come to work after a few days.
I’m white, fire me! Onboard. Overboard. Jubaku desu yo!
They’re trying to copy lyft and virtue signal their way out of a bad public image after being trashed for years by the MSM.
Is there still “white people” in Cali?
Bozoma????
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!1!!1!1!
I will have to ask Uncle Bob about that, he was Mr Big at General Dynamics forever in El Segundo, but it would not surprise me in the least bit that real men put others through learning tests like this to make a point.
They can’t make noise. They’re being told by your friends to shut up.
“I want white men to look around in their office and say, ‘Oh look, there’s a lot of white men here.”
Lies. Damn lies. My team’s workforce is maybe 1/3 white and I work under 4 levels of women mangers.
But I took this shitty low paying job because I was looking for 2 years without getting a job offer.
But ‘go discrimination’. SXSW is a damned globalist conference these days. Obamas, Sanders, Londonistan mayor, etc
She must be really fun to work and hang out with! /not
Every day white people are getting scolded and lectured. It is beyond old.
How about, "I want people to look around in their office and say, ‘Oh look, there’s a lot of incompetence here. Let’s change this,'”
Take a good look around, Bozoma, and you will see that pretty much everything run by “the diverse” is sh*t. One cannot ignore reality.
It’s Wesley Snipes in ‘To Wong Foo’!!!
Kiss my ass about this diversity horse crap.
Unfortunately for everyone else generally speaking whites are the best
Whoa Nellie...to the rear march out of that bar right now!
