I noticed too many black players in NBA and it has a diversity problem, the number/ratio of African American players in NBA league should be dramatically limited for diversity.
Asian is the _real_ minority(or tinority) in USA, somehow it is not treated as such when we talk about college, IT jobs etc. Maybe it's not just about the percentage of population? IT is also a highly skilled profession, similar to NBA players to some extent.
I'm all for diversity everywhere, but it seems the status quo is more likely from nature force/choice instead of simple intentional discrimination. To fully better it, we need check the diversity in those who are taking the hard courses in STEM majors, it's difficult to hire a non-STEM students for IT jobs.
Then we're back to round 1, I think it's the diversity on STEM major choices from highschool/college deciding the end result in SV. For that, there is only so much the government can help.
- Mangalor 12y agoThere's intentional discrimination out there. It's not just about historical inequality.
- ausjke 12y agoThere are intentional discrimination in many places ,including the now famous "Affirmative action" that is purposely designed by law to discriminate students by race. The world is not a perfect place. I am just saying unless more 'minorities' are taking STEM majors at very early stage, blaming HR at SV companies is not going to help much.
