Status update: Facebook not so diverse
Jessica Guynn, USATODAY 8 p.m. EDT June 25, 2014SAN FRANCISCO – Facebook, the world’s most popular social network, for the first time released statistics on the makeup of its workforce that do not reflect the demographics of its users around the globe.
That’s an interesting new standard for employment diversity: not your metropolitan commuting area, or state, or country, but all your customers in the world.
The lopsided numbers are just the latest from a major Silicon Valley company to paint a stark picture of an industry sector dominated by white men
Damn white men stealing an entire industry sector from the women of color who started it: Frederica Terman, Wilhelmina Hewlett, Willa Shockley, Roberta Noyce, Gordonette Moore, Stephanie Wozniak, etc. etc.
and are sure to escalate an already heated debate over the lack of diversity in the tech industry.
Nearly 70% of Facebook employees are men and 57% are white. Asians make up 34% of employees.
But Hispanics represent just 4% and African Americans are just 2% of Facebook’s workforce.
When it comes to technical employees, the numbers are even more grim. Eighty-five percent are male, 53% white and 41% Asian. Hispanics make up just 3% and African Americans just 1% of the workforce.
At the top of the company, the statistics are no better. Seventy-seven percent of senior level employees are men, 74% are white and 19% are Asian. Hispanics account for 4% and African Americans for 2% of employees in high level positions.
“We build products to connect the world, and this means we need a team that understands and reflects many different communities, backgrounds and cultures,” Maxine Williams, Facebook’s global head of diversity, said in a blog post.
Technology is a key driver of the U.S. economy. It makes the products from iPhones to Google search that Americans use every day. Yet the companies that make these products do not mirror the demographics of the United States in race, gender or age.
So that means this changing-face-of-America stuff wasn’t such a hot idea? What you’re trying to say is that white men built America into a technological powerhouse but the workforce keeps get less white male, so the country is in big trouble, right?
The pressure is especially high for Facebook. Its users span races and cultures around the globe, and the majority of Facebook users are women, making it crucial for Facebook to have a diverse workforce, said Stanford fellow Vivek Wadhwa, author of the upcoming book Innovating Women.
Vivek Wadhwa is not a woman. Nor innovative.
Facebook finds itself in a bigger and brighter spotlight because its No. 2 executive is Sheryl Sandberg, one of Silicon Valley’s most prominent female leaders and the author of the best seller Lean In.
She told USA TODAY earlier this month that the lack of diversity in male-dominated corporate America is “pretty depressing.”
The concept of “conflict of interest” has just evaporated from the mental toolbox.
Commenter Wilkey writes:
If these companies were smart, they’d begin insourcing their janitors, landscapers, and cafeteria workers, so as to boost their minority numbers. But it would just kill them, you know, to see their net profit margins reduced from 52.1% to 51.9%, not to mention the huge status hit of having illiterate high school dropouts being able to say they work for Facebook or Google.
Yes, this idea that working for a certain company, like Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn try to get jobs with Google in “The Interns,” proves you are hot stuff is an interesting change.
These stories, in which, usually, a very secure and well compensated exec pontificates from on high on how his/her corporate workforce must ‘represent’ the generality of the US, (or now as it seems the ‘global’) workforce, in the same way that a politician ‘represents’ an electorate, on assumes, always make me laugh.
Invariably, the secure annd well compensated exec who does the pontificating is by his/her own yardstick a ‘privileged’ member of one of the ‘over-represented’ groups. Yet this irony is forever lost. The simple fact is that the greatest possible act the exec could possibly do to achieve the goal of ‘global representation’ is to resign his/her own position and appoint in his/her stead a worthy member of the globally under-represented, as a way of ‘setting the example’, you know the ‘right thing’ to do both ‘morally and ethically’.
But in practice, I’ve never but never heard of such a magnaminous and exemplary act ever being committed in the whole long and fraught history of corporate America.
Wilkey’s right to vote is equal to your right to vote. In fact it’s way more equal.
They don’t mean diversity – they mean “diversity”. If the percentages were lopsided in the opposite direction (85% female, 91% Hispanic & African-American, and the rest white and Asian males) it wouldn’t “paint a stark picture” at all. The numbers would be hailed as a triumph, not lamented as grim.
As pointed out in earlier posts on this blog, the writers of these articles conveniently forget to mention that whites are underrepresented as a % of their population, which would lead to the unfortunate conclusion that these companies employ too many Asians.
Also by this author’s logic, Samsung and Sony need to employ a lot more Americans, Chinese and Indians in their HQ, since the vast majority of their sales come from outside their home countries.
…that do not reflect the demographics of its users around the globe.
I bet when the Sony Walkman was king, Sony’s employees ‘did not reflect the demographics’ of those around the world who bought and used the Walkman. I don’t think the starting lineup of the Boston Celtics ‘reflects the demographics of their fans’ in Boston either. Nokia used to be the world’s dominant supplier of mobile phones; having visited its HQ just outside Helsinki, I can tell you that its workforce also did not ‘reflect the demographics’ of those around the world who bought and used its phones. Etc etc.
Not only does ‘political correctness make you stupid’, it also seems to compel some people to point out inanely (is that a word?) meaningless factoids.
Couple of points, feel free to delete:
“the interns” = “the internship”. “keeps get less” = “keeps getting less”
The Internship has some really funny bits. The whole scene in the bed shop with the tattoo was classic.

She told USA TODAY earlier this month that the lack of diversity in male-dominated corporate America is “pretty depressing.”
What is “pretty depressing” is that much of your male-dominated corporate America will soon be retiring, then the magical Negroes and wise Latinas will have to put-up or shut-up in the workplace. Everyone I know is going to take retirement as soon as they can; they’ve been planning their exit while employers have been sleeping contently, believing that the job market is so crappy that they can be lazy about workforce retention and succession planning. Surprise, surprise, surprise!
Such are the times we live in that whites, and specifically males, are made to feel defensive and almost apologetic for being who they are. Everyone is being forced to dance when the same song comes on. In actual fact white males make the world go around; without them there’s nothing. This insanity needs to stop. People need to make it stop one person at a time when they no longer feel like getting bullied. When parasitic jobs such as ‘diversity coordinator’ become extinct then that’ll be a sign of progress.
How long before we see the following in USA Today:
“The lopsided numbers are just the latest from a major NFL team to paint a stark picture of an industry sector dominated by black men.”
or:
“The lopsided numbers are just the latest from a major clothing designer to paint a stark picture of an industry sector dominated by gay men.”
It’s insane, if you think about it, to believe that any company or field of work or in fact any human group should reflect the demographics of the city, the country or (gasp!) the world. Why? Why should it be so? This is blank slatism go mad.
There are more female nurses than male, there are more female prostitutes than male. There are more black basketball players than white. There are more young people than old in sports. I don’t hear anyone complaining.
That said, the Big Tech companies are one of the main supporters of globalization, outsourcing and diversification, so it serves them right.
Despite making “inequality” central to its market…er, ideology, the Left doesn’t even try to remedy it even when doing so would be fully within its power.
Supreme Court justices are appointed – they aren’t elected, they don’t earn their way there. Yet three of the last four Democratic appointees to the one of the most powerful institutions in the land have been white Jews, the most overrepresented ethnicity of all. Same goes for the Federal Reserve Board and various other bodies.
When Sen. Daniel Inouye died, the leftist, Democratic governor of Hawai’i, appointed his replacement. In a state almost 40% Asian, less than 25% white, and less than 1% Jewish, he appointed Brian Schatz, a Jew, to the seat.
Inequality – whether it’s increasing minority representation or reducing income disparity – is to Leftist politicians what “values” like abortion, etc., are to many right-wing pols. It’s a cheap way to pick up votes from voters who aren’t really paying attention. It’s purely for marketing.
Mark Zuckerberg has been one of the leading proponents of amnesty, giving millions to the cause, and has claimed that illegal immigrants are totally the future of tech and entrepeneurialism in this country. Yet he doesn’t even bother to hire that many Hispanics at Facebook – not relative to the California population (38%), nor even the US population (16%). Nor, apparently, does he bring in many Hispanics on H-1Bs.
Here is Brian Fung, former douche bag ambush videographer for think progress, putting out a headline lamenting that facebook is dominated by white men.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/06/26/the-switchboard-like-google-facebooks-workforce-is-dominated-by-white-men/
“When it comes to technical employees, the numbers are even more grim. Eighty-five percent are male, 53% white and 41% Asian. Hispanics make up just 3% and African Americans just 1% of the workforce.”
When white men work, the situation is not just bad. It is “grim”.
The interesting thing about the numbers game is that it doesn’t differentiate roles. Liberals probably envision a workplace where a few white males develop the technology, and then 30,000 others keep it running. The idea is that it takes a few bright minds to create the core of it and the rest are tasks that can be “taught” through repetition, memory and following of instructions. They need only a few real brains and the rest can be obedients. This vision seems parallel to what the democrats want for America: a Hillary or Joe Biden (!!!?) in charge, surrounded by a vast sea of “diverse” mixed Caucasian-Asian-African faces.
“Maxine Williams, Facebook’s global head of diversity”
Naturally, Maxine Williams is black – not very black. She seems to be West Indian black. Head of diversity is a good job that appears reserved for blacks only.
Is “fast food worker” the new code word for violent black thug?

Thousands of Dreaming children from Central America, and Dreaming tatted gangbangers,

It is interesting when you consider that China and India combined have a population of around 2.6Bn and yet white males still outnumber Asians in the tech field in the US.

Along with “conflict of interest” and “Who? Whom?,” “irony” is a lost concept.
I bet that the demographics of Facebook’s customers, the advertisers that actually pay it money, are not too far off from those of Facebook itself. The people around the world that use the Facebook application don’t pay for it, they’re just the audience.
And wake me up when someone calculates the percentage of top Facebook execs that are Scots-Irish.
Off topic, but have any of you seen the commercial for the upcoming U.S. vs Germany soccer game narrated by Keifer Sutherland? I just saw it and couldn’t help laughing and wondering, “What the hell is this?” But maybe I was just overreacting. It struck me as being a cultural Marxist’s dream.
I wanted to post a link to it, but couldn’t find the video online, but I’m pretty sure it will be online in not too long. However, here is a link to a similar ad for the U.S. vs. Portugal game (I never saw this on TV).

Someone should ask Zuck these question:
1. Would Facebook be better off if it mirrored America’s demographics?
2. Would America be better off it it (more) mirrored Facebook’s employment demographics?
3. Will his immigration proposals make America more or less like Facebook’s employment demographics?
That’s an interesting new standard for employment diversity: not your metropolitan commuting area, or state, or country, but all your customers in the world.
You can check any given leftoid, and he may not be a flake. But odds are, tomorrow he will be.
I mean, FFS. How are Japan, Israel, or China (or most of the world for that matter) supposed to meet that standard? And if they can’t, why should anyone else be expected to?
Companies in suicidally dieverse countries can’t even meet that standard.
Jessica Guynn: total flake in desperate need of an editor.
Leftoids really are off their meds. I heard some BBC radio on NPR late last night. They had a short report about Australia’s new refugee policy. Basically, they’re going to refuse refugees. They had a few quotes from some Australian pol (PM?) to that effect. Then they interviewed a refugee advocate who complained about how horrible this will be for the refugees. Then they went on to the next news item. WTF? They couldn’t get anyone who likes the new policy on the phone? Of course they could. But apparently, the BBC is openly hard-left and doesn’t want to hear from the other side. Right after that, they had a sound bite from another flaky leftoid woman (interviewer and refugee advocate were both women) saying, “the idea of us and them is inherently harmful,” or words to that effect. WTF? I knew the BBC was leftoid, but are they really that openly hard-left? I had no idea.
Well, obviously it is incumbent on white (and Asian) men to make these jobs easy enough for non-whites to do them.
Eventually most programming will be done by prewritten macros because the horsepower of the hardware is so strong that efficiency will not matter. Picking color templates and designing the layout will become of primary concern and any race or either gender can handle that. This is already happening as software like labview makes programming substantially easier than using text based languages such as C++.
Women voluntarily moved into the workforce as jobs became easier and safer. There was no male oppression they had to overcome. Male inventiveness just made male muscle and courage less important. Now the same will happen with IT. Bright males will obsolete other males, including themselves to a large degree, by making everything easier. Of course we will get no credit for it. Women and minorities will still complain because complaining is effective and they are the experts in that field.
The Apollo mission workforce should have reflected the world race demographics because everyone in the world can look up at the moon.
I hardly think the non-white women that use Facebook for whatever gibberish really care who works at Facebook.
I wonder if articles like these would be appearing if Mark Zuckerberg’s constant lobbying for open borders was more successful than it is.
“When it comes to technical employees, the numbers are even more grim. Eighty-five percent are male, 53% white and 41% Asian. Hispanics make up just 3% and African Americans just 1% of the workforce.”
How many of those 41% asian are of the HB1, Chad and Ranjeep of TechTalk variety?
Well, admit it Steve. A lot of the SV luminaries wouldn’t be considered gold standard white (or white at all) according to some of your readers. Zuckerberg at the top of the list, Ellison – would the half-Syrian Steve Jobs be considered white by the WN’s? Nope.
the numbers are even more grim. …
the statistics are no better.
The numbers are not grim and the statistics are perfectly OK.
Not only does ‘political correctness make you stupid’, it also seems to compel some people to point out inanely (is that a word?) meaningless factoids.
The factoid isn’t meaningless; it’s being deployed in service of the “die YT, die” movement (AKA, liberalism/leftoidism).

People need to make it stop one person at a time when they no longer feel like getting bullied. When parasitic jobs such as ‘diversity coordinator’ become extinct then that’ll be a sign of progress.
Defensive – sure. Apologetic – absolutely not. The more aggresive the leftoids get, the more aggressive I get about my whiteness, and toward leftoids’ pet causes and races.
Inequality – whether it’s increasing minority representation or reducing income disparity – is to Leftist politicians what “values” like abortion, etc., are to many right-wing pols. It’s a cheap way to pick up votes from voters who aren’t really paying attention. It’s purely for marketing.
And intimidation, and shakedowns. But I’d substitute “propaganda” for “marketing.”
Well, at least the world is diverse. How’s it doin’ anyway? How about the most diverse countries in the world? Has anyone done a correlation analysis between diversity and various social indices?
Sorry, off topic but very Saileresque. File it under “Future Topics.”
We just had one of those “kids these days” incidents in NY, but it got my attention because it was so 1950s: one ‘teen’ stabbed another to death in a benighted Bronx intermediate school. Over a cell phone, supposedly. No guns, a stabbing, how old fashioned. Kids these days.
But it wasn’t over a cell phone. It was an outcome of the most heinous bullying I’ve ever heard of, and I’ve heard of heinous bullying. The truth:
http://insideschools.org/middle/browse/school/365
The stabber was Hispanic, I expect that the ‘victim’ (Crump) was black. The school is 1% white, which I believe is either a mistake or Hispanics claiming to be white:
http://tinyurl.com/njr5prk
“It’s having a hard time figuring out how to help a significant number of its students to read and compute on grade level. In fact, the school has been so weak in reading and writing instruction that New York State is forcing it to restructure its program.” Yeah, that’ll do it! Restructure the program!
Ain’t no white boys named Crump in that school. Principal a black woman in an 80% Hispanic school. So, she allowed a situation of complete Lord of the Flies brutality to fester under her stewardship.
These schools need men in charge, or someone with balls.
The lack of Asians playing professional team sports in the US mirrors their over-representation amongst technology companies, surprisingly blacks who are underrepresented amongst said technology companies are overrepresented in professional sports, could there a connection? STOP CRIME THOUGHT !!!! Evidently the one constant in an ever changing universe is the stupidity of journalists.

Why can’t they just let these poor people die of thirst!?
Wait, I was assured by professor Goldstein that race and sex were “social constructs,” why are USA Today, Facebook, Fraudwa, et al perpetuating such fallacious, harmful, and outdated notions??
So by this standard, should American Football look like the majority of people who “consume” it, i.e. white people?
ok, so could you diversify the banks? jews seem to be largely overrepresented there.
Nobody really believes this pie in the sky diversity stuff and that the percentage of whatever or whoever needs to change. If they believed it, they’d hire differently. It’s like a religion for them, it sounds good and they sort of believe it but they don’t follow it much in their day to day lives. They dont want to suffer the plainly obvious consequences.
Also like a religion you’re supposed to believe something implausible – diversity is a good thing they say but they can’t say why – it’s like a test to see if you’re in the club or not. Pretend to believe in our stupid idea and we’ll trust you.
That Maxine Williams, and the thousands of others like her, reminds me of why Dave Chappelle is such a joke. He never made fun of blacks with phony jobs, did he?
I generally visit Facebook no more than every other week or so. My daughter believes it’s because I’m old and not technologically savvy, but in fact it’s my way of punishing them for their appalling lack of diversity.
I feel the same way about Google, but Bing sucks too bad to be a viable alternative.
Steve, the anti-White man jihad will not go away. At its core is the ability of the jihad to take away jobs, money, and power from White guys without sufficient connections and money and power and give it to: Blacks, Hispanics, and White women. That is the essential shape of all politics in the West.
With half of Mexico and Central America moving into the US, the pressure to fire all White guys and hand over the jobs to Mestizos, Blacks, and White women regardless of what that means for the company is going to be relentless.
Women like Sandberg are “pretty depressed” because the White guys around them are not sexy. I don’t see women in the movie industry “pretty depressed” because they look around and see Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Liam Neeson, etc. in major film roles. Or: Women HATE HATE HATE beta males and White guys do beta male more than any one else (or at least, more noticeably than any other race of men). Same for the female reporter.
Bottom line most White guys are going to get kicked out and replaced by Black, Hispanic, etc. including White women because they lack the political power to prevent it. And they lack the political power because they lack the social power. Most White guys are in a “boring beta male provider mode” when women demand “sexy criminals” and suffer the rage of their female peers who were promised damnit! sexy men.
Does the racial demographics of the NBA accurately represent the racial demographics of the entire world ? Last time I checked the world is not 80 percent Black like the NBA is.
Asians are the largest racial group in the world. So shouldn’t Asians outnumber Blacks in the NBA ? Why is the NBA so anti-Asian ? Asians are underrepresented in the NBA compared to their share of the world’s population.
Facebook’s worker demographics do not reflect its users. A review of Facebook’s demographics found that 100% of Facebook employees worked at a publicly-traded company starting with the letter “F” and with a CEO whose last name starts with the letter “Z”. Facebook workers at the headquarters were nearly all from California, yet less than 10% of its users are from the Golden State. While less than 10% of Facebook’s users have a college degree, our analysis of Facebook’s workforce found over 90% having a college degree. Among the top executive ranks, over 99% had college degrees. Facebook workers clearly do not reflect the demographics of the user base.
Everybody,
The most salient fact in the story is that Whites are UNDERrepresented in the workforce.
Neither Steve nor his other readers appear to have picked up on that.
‘White privilege’ distracts us from noticing Jewish privilege.
“The most salient fact in the story is that Whites are UNDERrepresented in the workforce. Neither Steve nor his other readers appear to have picked up on that.”
We *all* picked up on that.
The irony in all of this is that the news organizations running these stories are often less diverse than Silicon Valley.
From Ron Fournier:
A sea of whiteness is don’t even think there’s an Asian.
@Anon (presently Comment 49):
Based on CA and Bay Area demographics, they’re still slightly over-represented (57% vs. 53% for Bay Area). There’s A LOT of Hispanics living 10 to a 2 BR apartment in the Bay Area, so the Asians are mostly displacing Hispanics from the “good jobs” while whites are about where you’d expect them to be. Rounding Error, close enough, seriously I don’t care. Ditto for blacks (Mostly because there are no black people in the Bay Area).
CA is really stupidly Hispanic, slightly over-Asianed, under-blacked, and under-whited compared to the rest of the country.

Actually it’s been mentioned repeatedly, here and elsewhere, if not in this particular comment thread.
In Silicon Valley, every black and hispanic who can stagger through college and has 2 brain cells to rub together is hired by a tech firm. Usually they are in HR, marketing or somewhere else non STEM. The whites found and run the company while the asians do the coding.
“She told USA TODAY earlier this month that the lack of diversity in male-dominated corporate America is “pretty depressing.”
Pretty depressing is the term I saw in a anti-gentrification article awhile back about the lack of Blacks living in San Francisco and how the city by the Bay needs to get Blacker if it truly wants to be racially diverse.
You will never see an article about how it is pretty depressing that there are very few Whites and very few Nonblacks in general living in Detroit.
Facebook is an excellent target for the diversiteers. It can’t be hard to find minorities who are qualified to further bungle what should be a simple and straightforward user interface. It’s not like FB is innovating – unless you use an advertiser’ definition of innovation.
Wilkey’s mental mapping reveals a mountain of prejudice peppered with border line bigotry;
Why in the 21st century USA,which has already endowed us graciously (twice) with the BOH’s presidency, should a minority employee have to be a meager-income, low qualified morlock, only capable of tending Sandberg’s bota de basura, manicuring the ornamental shrubs, or selling gluten-free blueberry scones?
As a Nation we can, and we have to do better. Why?
Because, in the immortal words of Alonzo Harris ,“this shit’s chess, it ain’t checkers.”
Imagine Facebook’s unbearably monochromatic HR portfolio as being suddenly diversified with an experienced entrepreneur, and vibrant professional – who doesn’t need a single training day – as the head of the company’s regional security? An additional doubleplusgood is that this highly prospective hiree is already a FB associate.
Hey,What’s Good For America Is Good For FB….
On second thought, if Facebook could only put that employment opportunity on ice, for let’s say max.2-4 years, while the abused-in-childhood-PTSD-bad-knee-institutionalized-racism imbroglio does its magic with a sleepless in Seattle jury.
Otherwise some other computing conglomerate will have to voluntarily endorse Darrion’s talent. And I just can’t wait to see, sometime circa 2018, some Rainbow/PUSHER’s holding “Holiwell in Honeywell-Now” placards.

An odd diversity side note. I was just recently at the Venetian casino in Las Vegas, and I noticed that nearly all of the table dealers were suddenly Asian: Chinese or something. And I mean just about ALL of them. Casino dealer used to be a very white gig. I don’t know if this is the case in other casinos.
The Venetian has a counterpart casino in Macau, China, so maybe they train them there and import them? Is it to service the large numbers of Chinese in the casino? Well there’s lot of Russians too, but I didn’t see too many Russian looking dealers.
Does anybody know what’s up with that?
“I was just recently at the Venetian casino in Las Vegas, and I noticed that nearly all of the table dealers were suddenly Asian”
The Venetian is owned by Sheldon Adelson, author of multiple commentaries explaining why the USA needs more more immigrants, and why Israel needs less less less non-Jewish immigrants.
Nevada’s economic and educational stats are absolutely horrific – near the worst rates in the US in health insurance coverage, foreclosures, high school dropouts, and unemployment. I can’t possibly imagine it needing to import card dealers from abroad.
@61 –
Oh come on, dude! Learn to do some quickie internet research. The Venetian is owned by The Sands Corp., which is owned by…..(guess) – his initials are SA. He owns one of the political parties.
62 and 63. Yes, but this shift to Asian dealers was within the last year. It wasn’t like that before. Just wondering if anyone knew if this caused some kind of fuss in Vegas, or did the white dealers just roll over and take it, like usual.
I did try to find something on the internet about it and all I got was this: “One thing I do not like are some of the bitchy Asian woman dealers I see at the floor, they are so unfriendly…like a block of ice.”
Guess that strategy is working great.
These schools need men in charge, or someone with balls.
Or mass repatriation.
Actually it’s been mentioned repeatedly, here and elsewhere, if not in this particular comment thread.
Yes, it has. It has also been mentioned that the under-representation is, in part, the result of massive age discrimination facilitated by H-1B abuse: companies simply get rid of older, more expensive Whites and replace them with H-1Bers. This is what I saw. And this is the most under-reported aspect of H-1B. Because the victims are mostly white males, no one cares.
And this is the most under-reported aspect of H-1B. Because the victims are mostly white males, no one cares.
It’s not exactly H-1B, but the Canadian version of temporary foreign worker visa…
Royal Bank of Canada chief executive officer Gordon Nixon has issued an open letter apologizing to employees for a controversy involving the bank’s use of outsourcing.
Diversity of population implies diversity of income implies greater inequality. Maybe that is the way we should reframe the debate over mass immigration: not in terms of whether you want a more diverse society but whether you want more inequality?
Diversity = Inequality
I don’t know why big tech doesn’t try the Barnum defence:

I suspect it is a bad thing, overall, for American blacks who are ambitious, to have AA and the desire of their employing organization to have some smart, competent blacks in high profile positions right away. Because this means you have the smartest and most competent blacks put into these figurehead roles instead of being left to climb the ladder and gain experience and such. Global director of diversity probably pays well, but that’s not someone who’s going to be involved in making any real decisions about the product or in innovating much.
I am amazed that Steve hasn’t brought up AMC’s new show, Halt and Catch Fire…they are busy shoehorning women into “genius” role’s so everybody feel’s all warm and fuzzy.

Agree. White women are at the top of the Identity Foodchain — they soaked-up the lioness’ share of AA, ‘legal’, and extra-legal goodies the past forty years. They are the driver and foundation of the modern Market Economy — vast Social Status material consumption by privileged white females. The delight of the planet’s megamillionaires!
After that … comes fems-of-color, then black guys, and then, well, you. Permanently outta the Civil Rights loop. Cause you had yours already.
The strategy obviously worked — conquered the western world in less than one generation. White females expanded and consolidated control by co-opting and manipulating a sub-set of white males … the enablers and servers of New America. Mostly subjugated married guys with nice comfy lives. So, as usual, there is a large element of inter-group betrayal that facilitated the larger disaster.
Cheers.
