Interesting view, given that Whites are proportionally underrepresented in much of Silicon valley companies. In fact, Google's tech roles are now majority non-white. Not that this is necessarily a problem, but it does not align with the idea that SV's monocultue comes from an overrepresentation of White people.
- moomin 8y agoIf there was a white male underrepresentation this might constitute a contribution to the conversation.
- manfredo 8y agoThe point is, at most there's a male over representation - but there's not a white over representation. The majority of Googlers are non-white, it seems dubious the country would have a white monoculture. Not to mention, we're being pretty ambiguous as to what we're really referring to by a "white male" culture. I'm going to hazard a guess that the >60% of white men who voted for Trump have a very different culture than the average white person at Google.
