> Apparently some tech companies see value in building a diverse workforce. And that's great, but diversity extends beyond ethnicity. If the only people your company hires are Ivy League 3rd culture kids, it doesn't matter what race they are. You are missing out on the majority of the benefits of diversity. > The burden is on people who want to maintain the current, non-representative state to prove nobody from other demographics wants into the field. No it isn't, and the fact that you're asking people to prove a negative should be a giant red flag that your views are unreasonable. > And I just don't buy the argument that blacks prefer to play basketball and women prefer to teach, or whatever else it is your implying. Please don't put words in my mouth, the fact that these examples are what you thought of speaks volumes about the depth of understanding you have here. White people actually focus a lot on sports compared to Asian, for example. East Asians focus more on being doctors than Indians, relative to engineering, as another. Moreover, that you are saying that all people from all backgrounds should find tech equally attractive tells me that you've fundamentally misunderstood the concept of cultural diversity. The fact that we have imbalances shows that we value diversity, because we let individuals choose as they wish, and as their cultures guide them. Having equal representation actually means a homogeneous society, not a diverse society.
