White people are underrepresented at most large tech companies[1]. So is almost every other race.
The exception is Asians. Asians are vastly overrepresented. I don't think this is a bad thing. It is meritocracy in action. But it violates the common notion that meritocracy and equality are the same thing.

- sidlls 10y agoYou're saying that Asians are more meritorious of positions at large tech companies than people of other ethnicities. That's an extraordinary claim. By the way, if Asians comprise about 30% of the workforce in the Valley, I wouldn't say they're over-represented. They're probably under-represented, in fact.
