why they didn't run this public facing diversity page past a person with basic communications and diversity training? :iiam:

Because gently caress professional diversity statements, even uber is less bad than professional diversity statements that are literally just "we claim to support [generic diversity policy], and that's totally not just because it's a good PR move for [company]".

Oh no, not substantially less white than America as a whole!

lol at the "Jewber" thing though, even if it's an innocuous name that Jewish employees came up with themselves you'd have to be an idiot use it without providing any real context in a PR piece.

85% of their tech jobs are held by men. More than 80% of their total workforce are either white or Asian, and only 3% of tech positions are held by black or Hispanic workers. No leadership positions in tech are held by black or Hispanic employees. Are these not issues in your view?

Oh they definitely are issues, it's just a pet peeve of mine when articles discussing diversity in tech claim that the companies are 'so white' -- citing percentage of employees -- when they're actually less white than average. It's like they aren't critically thinking about the numbers even a little bit.

I really liked these quotes from the same Uber diversity page that brings us Jewbros and Uberettos.

quote:

Parenting at Uber
Broadening the conversation around being an Uber parent.
Not opening opportunities, not expanding access to childcare, broadening the conversation.

quote:

Women of Uber
Our goal is to provide a channel that promotes women's inclusion for all employees at Uber (e.g. women in tech, mentorship, career enhancement).
I know what they mean, but they really couldn't think of a better phrasing than "promotes women's inclusion for all employees?"

Asian-Americans have what's called "model minority" status, which confers some visible advantages and a lot of hidden disadvantages. It's exactly the kind of thing The Great Race Space is happy to discuss if you're curious.

You need to have selective mating that creates smart+smart parents in order to sustain a high IQ subpopulation. If you took white people and forced them to mate together randomly for 100 years you'd get very few white engineers because there'd be no high IQ couples having kids together anymore -- a 140 IQ mommy and a 100 IQ daddy will make a dumb baby. This mating randomization is essentially what happened to black people under slavery and is the main reason we have so few high IQ black people in this country. You can look at performance on high end math contests to see this -- Nigeria does way better than black America at producing USAMO-level teenagers.

Also, there are in fact leadership positions held by black people at some Silicon Valley tech companies.

The real horror of slavery is that it involved relationships that were suboptimal on eugenic grounds.
