I wish I had enough karma to down vote this. It's just a bunch of random semi-related statistics thrown together into a infographic. Yes, Silicon Valley is "racist" in the sense that it aims to hire people who have been trained to do certain jobs that minorities are usually NOT trained to do.

Why is this all-black vs. all-white only? [2]: What about the overall movement for black and hispanic workers in Silicon Valley? What if they are all starting their own companies? Also, what is the time period for this? Last six months? Last six years? Last six decades?
