Comment Human Resources is the problem. (Score 1) 341
The problem with diversity in tech is in the human resources departments at tech companies. It's extremely hard to get a job as a minority, because of the screening and hiring practices: the life experiences of minorities often disqualify them for employment. There are plenty of minorities who have a genuine interest and that have tech related skills who never get opportunities in the field. The only way that there will be more diversity in tech is through minority entrepreneurship.
