The author calls for tech journals to release their race data. This is why the author has to resort to the approximations you take issue with.
"Big Tech Media corporations should do the right thing and release the demographic breakdown of their employee base. There is even a federal requirement to file the form EEO-1 Survey which breaks this data down."
- Traster 5y agoMy issue isn't that he comes up with an approximation. My issue is he comes up with a bad approximation. Are you really telling me all 13 news organisations declined to comment to him? Or did he not even ask. And at least justify your arbitrary 13 organisations. It's just really damn lazy. I mean, at the very least they could have just pinged each of the people they found a DM saying "Hey I'm doing a survey would you be willing to share your self-identified race" - a level of fact checking that the actual media would go through before publication.
