By 'diverse' I meant 'PoC' mostly.
Tech, particularly in the Valley has technically an under representation of non-PoC.
(I myself have worked at companies that were 95% Asian, being almost the only 'White Guy').
The reason 'tech' is highlighted is ironically that's were the 'woke folk' are. You can go the Midwest Cracker Co. and find 90% White and people are not too worried about it, except for in a kind of 'corporate optics' way.
It's the general employees of tech, tech press etc. that are fairly assertive in promoting issues of diversity because it's what they care about. A company has to have a certain profile in order for it to be newsworthy. CNN, even if they wanted to, can't really run an article on the Midwest Cracker Co. but they can for Twitter because it has public resonance.
