Absolutely not. This is typical trickery of stats. They have diversity at lower levels. But unlike SV almost no diversity at senior ranks. I think its past time that we consider janitorial and admin jobs as a win. If we have legions of educated minorities, why aren't they making it into executive roles at the NY Times?
Here is the exec staff: https://www.nytco.com/company/people/ https://www.nytco.com/company/people/ "Filter by executive"
There are >64 million Hispanics living in the United States, yet not a single one on the NYT exec team.
They have 1 token asian,
1 token black person.
That is not "Better position than most." That seems like 3x worse than your average tech firm.

- dario_od 2y agoI opened the link and filtered by executive. Thirteen people there: - 5 white men - 4 white women - 1 black man - 2 black women - 1 asian woman Pretending that a sample size of 12 should exactly reflect the diversity of the whole population of the country is just weird to me.
