Asians aren't really a minority in the tech industry. Hispanics, african americans, women and other demographic groups are still underrepresented relative to the general population.

Overrepresented minority, but still a minority nonetheless.

>underrepresented The tech sector (or the industry/science/etc. sectors) aren't the senate or whatever that they need to "represent" anyone. They should hire based on skill/merit and try to produce the best product that they can. Please stop pushing these crazy leftist agendas everywhere

    Whites are a minority race when you take the world thus we should reduce the number of non-whites to combat this underrepresentation inside the human species. This is simple math. I also pity you for living in some delusion of botched equality

responding to cgy1> Asians make up 5.5% of the population of the US, this includes all Asians. I don't have figures for their representation in the tech industry at large but some quick googling shows they make up some 39% of Silicon Valley workers. African Americans make up 13% and Latinos 17%, which means for every one Asian worker in tech, we should expect around two to three African American and Latino workers. I don't think there should be quotas but the tech industry demographics do not come anywhere close to tracking with our country's demographics.
