I understand the problem to be way beyond hiring in tech, so I'm trying to understand why lack of diversity in tech is being blamed on the tech community.

- peterwwillis 11y agoBecause the tech industry is dragging its feet. The explanation tech companies have for not having a more diverse workforce is that the applicants are just not out there to hire. Of course, any good tech worker could take an additional five minutes to think about the problem and discover that there are ways to create the applicants, by improving the communities that will grow the applicants. But that takes time, and money, it's hands-on and it's not easy. And overseas workers are cheap.
