"The reason why Women, Blacks and Hispanics are under-represented in tech boils down to the pipeline."
Oh yeah? Then how come with blacks taking 10% of CS degrees and Latinos taking 8%, their representation at Google and Facebook is only 1% and 2%?
Meritocracy?
- sremani 12y agoGoogle and Facebook are kind of extreme cases - I would not be hired by Google in spite of my Master's degree - in most of these companies one may have to look at the CS degrees from Elite Universities. An A.S degree from Collin County Community College or BS from TAMU-Commerce is not same as Stanford or UT-Austin. You can cherry pick the data all you want, are there biases - apparently not White Engineer Bias for sure, if there is. I do not know all the variables, but I prefer uneven organic growth over over-curated even growth that sucks resources and energies from vital parts of the company.
