Comment But 55% white in the US... (Score 1) 561
...is less than you would expect based on the US population (assuming race-blinded hiring and proportional applications, etc.). Based on the last census, the US is 72% White, so 55% is... what terminology do we use? More diverse? Less White?
11% Hispanic at Apple vs. 16.4% in the general population, there's a difference for sure. 7% Black at Apple vs. 12.6% US-wide, and 15% Asian vs. 4.8% US-wide, OK, definite differences there, so if you put Asians in the "non-diversity" group I can see calling that an issue.
As far as gender representation, yeah that's disproportionate, and that's an issue across tech/engineering fields that's been known for a while.
