"Only 6 percent of U.S. tech workers are African American and 7 percent are Latino; 15 percent are Asian American and 71 percent are white, according to 2011 census data." Uggg, I hate statistics like those paraded in this article that are basically worthless without the corresponding percentages that each group represents of the general population. FWIW: General population Tech populations . Caucasian 63% ??? . African Am. 13.6% 6% . Latino 17% 7% . Asian 13% 15% When you look at it with these numbers it puts it in perspective. The original article made it sound like blacks, latinos and asians were disadvantaged to non-hispanic caucasians in that order from worst to least worse, when the reality is that latinos are least represented relative to the general population, african america has it a little bit less worse and asian americans actually were doing far better than white people relative to the percent of the general purpose that they represent. I really want to see all sources of journalism hire an editor whose sole purpose is to double check that no stupid statistics make it to print.
