You're again, falling victim to confirmation bias by rejecting the best quantification you've provided yet.
Lets examine the data you've provided - 29% white women, 19% women of color, 21% men of color, 30% white men.
This data is entirely in line with the demographics of the US. About 50/50 on gender and 60% white. In fact, given google's global hiring reach, these figures are actually biased towards white people - while about spot on for gender. This entirely contradicts the point you were originally pointing to this twitter feed as confirmation of.
- jaduncan 10y agoIf anything, this thread has just made me newly impressed with Google's approach to inclusion. It's also really, really obvious that the person you are responding to isn't able to reconcile seeing PoC and women with their own world view.
- facepalm 10y agoHuh wtf - what does seeing women and PoCs have to do with a "world view"? You think I am not aware that women and PoCs exist?
- tomlock 10y agoBased on your quantification, there's now more evidence for the claim that you perceive an unbiased sample of people to be biased towards minorities and women, than there is evidence against that claim. It seems like you're struggling to reconcile this bias with the quantification of it.
