- Banthum 9y agoUm, Sundar Pichai is Indian and Fei-Fei Li is East Asian (plus the list is 50% women). Or is "minority" only black and Hispanic now? These goalposts seem to shift so often I can never tell.

- glenstein 9y agoRegardless of how anyone feels about minority representation, it never ceases to boggle my mind that many people think about the whole issue in terms of individual examples rather than overall proportionality. The single example of the CEO doesn't tell us anything about the demographic makeup of their engineering force, unless you think the example of the former is a good basis for inferences to the latter. (But this is admittedly a total derail from the point of this thread.)

- glenstein 9y agoAgain, I wasn't taking a position (eg "regardless of how anyone feels...") on what to do, in order to keep this from being too much of a derail. I was making a point about the strange way people attempt to quantify minority representation with one-off examples.
