Instead, those companies are going to promote specific subgroups and not admit it. After all, you can always claim that it's a coincidence that the only qualified people were straight white men. It's only discrimination if you write it down.
- adam_arthur 2y agoAssuming equal skill distribution among subgroups, an unbiased hiring process would end up with employee demographics matching 1:1 with the demographic make of the talent pool. What do you think is the gender split in the tech hiring pool? What do you think is the racial split?

- jfengel 2y agoIt's what individual people want to do. The diversity statement says "no, that's not what we want as a company." It's not sufficient. It also requires someone looking at the hires and seeing if it looks like it's being carried out. Those were the people Trump just fired from the government.
