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.

So I am supposed to say “hey, employer, I’m too white, please fire me!”, something like that?
She’s an executive? She looks more like the entertainment for a bachelor party.
Grace Jones and Ru Paul had a test-tube baby. Born male.
“White boys gotta up their game on violent crime. So far we own serial killings, but we aren’t competitive in petty thefts, armed robberies, and assaults.”
Gee, I better gather up the fellas at the Elks lodge and tell them we got some robbin’ and rapin’ to do.
Does a fart count?
What a clownoma.
My observation is currently, “oh hell, there are hardly any white guys here”.
Geesh, there is MORE than enough “noise”, you ass.
I hate to say we white people are the ones who should be making more noise.
I thought we were supposed to judge people
by the content of their character,
not by the color of their skin.
Bozoma????
I want white men to look around their office and say 'Oh look, there's fewer and fewer white men here every day. Let's change this.'
Bozoma? I'm supposed to take someone seriously when they have a name like that?
Nevertheless, I will be sure to "make noise" about diversity - I had red beans and rice for lunch.
What truly scares the militant race-whiners is that, at the end of the day, they know that the responsibility for their failings lies with themselves, as is the case for anyone else.
What they don't seem to understand, or refuse to, is that their constant playing of 'the race card' is merely fanning the flames of any remaining vestiges of the very thing they claim to want to eradicate.
For the vast vast majority of Americans the only traits that really count are civility, character, citizenship, and competence.
Seems to me that the major (and self-inflicted) stumbling block for many of those who continue to insist on being 'African-Americans' is that they're actually neither.
No. Go to the site to see the original. It's a Getty Image and we can't post those. You'll be no less impressed with the Getty image.
They sneer at white people but still want us to take care of them.
The number of Blacks with engineering or technical degrees is zilch. Maybe a bunch of those White college students should turn their places over to Blacks who of course would be so well qualified to pass those engineering, math and science courses.
This woman dresses more like a hooker than a high level corporate executive. My name is Bozoma How do you like seeing my bazooms?
Why didn’t you warn us? That’s not a real person in that picture, is it? Can’t be! What could possibly scare a person so bad to make their hair stand on end like that?
I’ve used about 6 or 7 times. One woman, mostly Carabean blacks.
Hey, Bozoma, instead of just making “noise”, why don’t you actually DO something about diversity at Uber by, for example, put a hiring freeze on new white drivers until Uber has your ideal “diversity” mix in place. Crashing and burning Uber would be a very small price to pay in the name of “diversity” ...
White men, according to this individual, should be against White men.
