We want tech companies to be color blind by hiring more black people.
Only 50percent white...
The rest Chinese and Indian
What a moronic article.
Which racial group has the least work ethic, the most excuses, the most grievances, and who, if you dare to terminate them, it will be a guaranteed lawsuit with settlements in the $million$? Hmmmm?
Sometimes, people just hurt their own chances. And you could never explain it to them so they’d understand.
Apples vs. Oranges
Combined workforce of 42,000? Talk about profit. Not that I am against profit but I thought these brainiacs were bigger than that. They are faker than I thought. They are not gods, they can bleed.
One still has to either be able to write code or content
Blame the twerp MZ
Many tech companies require drug testing as a prerequisite for hiring. Much of the work requires very precise processes and any drug use can cause costly errors.
Tech job require demonstrable tech skills. Hardware and software don’t care what color you are.
Trump is making inroads to the black community. Black unemployment at historic lows. His approval is way up with black males. Kanye & Candace are opening the eyes of blacks.
Time for the LSM to trot out negative articles to try to drive down Trump’s numbers & create a wedge. More divisive “news” from the LSM.
Somethin' tells me a lot of black folks are waking up to just how much the H1B scam screws them and not just the kids of well to do white folks.

Be qualified and act as though you are ready to work for that particular company. If you are not presently qualified, show that you are training or ready to be trained. Learn about where you are applying. Is it family owned? Is it a new company? Do not approach an interview with the attitude that ‘they’ owe you a job because you happen to want one that day. Do not talk negatively about a former employer.
Be as truthful as possible, but be clear and brief.
Act as though you are able to listen to others and learn without taking every correction as a personal slight. Act, dress and sound as though you want to be there, not as though you are job hunting to keep your unemployment bennies coming in.
1. Maybe there are not enough qualified blacks?
2. Maybe there are not enough qualified blacks applying for the job?
3. Maybe there are not enough blacks distinguishing themselves from their peers?
Maybe they think of themselves as being “Black” before they think of themselves as a person with incredible skills and some mad desire to get ahead.
I think they self objectify and it’s really, really sad.
They are promoting a different sort of bigotry and begging/demanding they be given something by virtue of their color, not their achievements.
I really am tired of hearing aboit race anymore.
No one gives a flip what color you are and I don’t know anyone who does.
I sure as hell would not ass9ciate with anyone who would disadvantage another person because of their skin color.
But hey, if you want to use race as your special crutch and excuse for not being particularly good at your job, then you are welcome to live in your lowered expectation world, which you create and nurture.
The screening software like Taleo is colorblind...
I suspect that the minority candidates’ resumes are not making the cut into the top 10%...
Trayvon, he could of been a software engineer!
“C-suite executives of tech firms publicly espouse the gospel of racial and gender diversity and inclusion, but these spaces do not reflect our nation’s demographic diversity,” said Marc Morial”
If there were blacks who could do the work, they’d hire them just to shut you up, you mewling, puling dembecile.
“Morial said that the latest Equal Employment Opportunity reports filed by Google, Facebook and Twitter showed that only 758, or 1.8 percent, of their combined workforce of 41,000 employees, were black. And their own research showed that in the majority of tech companies, fewer than five percent of the workforce is black, while at least half of the workforce is white.”
That would make sense considering the U.S. population is 72.4% white & 12.6% black. I have to wonder though if the black population realizes that a decade ago they were 18+% of the population? That’s what living on the dimocrat plantation will get you when you let them put abortion clinics in all of your neighborhoods and TOTALLY IGNORE the problem of BLACK ON BLACK crime.
