I think an important question is how many of those Asians are drawn from abroad, vs our American homegrown Asians?
If they're homegrown, then clearly they're over-represented. But if they're poached from abroad, they are actually under-reprsented. One would assume 60% of employees of a global workforce would be Asian.
- JamesBarney 4y agoIf you're assuming a global workforce this would mean the representative share of African Americans would be 0.5%
- googlryas 4y agoSure, but a black percentage of ~13%, which is actually exactly in line with the ratio of black americans to americans.
- JamesBarney 4y agoOne of the biggest arguments for DEI is to undo the damage the US government and culture has done to it's own black citizens. I don't think filling a bunch of VP positions with highly qualified African immigrants does that.
- LawTalkingGuy 4y agoA cynical person would think DEI was invented precisely because solving that would be hard but treating everyone the same by skin color allows for easier solutions such as simply importing non-aggrieved people to replace our marginalized ones.
