According to 2015 US Census Bureau estimates, California's population was 72.9% White, 6.5% Black or African American, 14.7% Asian, 1.7% Native Americans, 0.5% Pacific Islander and 3.8% from two or more races.
So, you're looking at a black population half the national average and an Asian population three times it. That's before you even start to filter by experience and skill set. It isn't really that complicated.
I’m guessing all Hispanics are registered as “White,” then.
Silicon Valley does not recruit from California. It does not recruit from the US. Why is it not recruiting from the US beyond California? It recruits from the World.
Yes, and I’d wager that your hiring decisions were based on competence and character?
