There's a lot of talk about diversity in tech, but I'm also curious about diversity outside tech, such as in classrooms. Black men in particular are way under represented in education despite black kids being a sizeable population in schools. Why so much focus on tech and not on other careers? https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-05-06/major-teacher-diversity-problems-in-us-schools
Because teaching in America has bigger problems then tech. They're severely underpaid and schools are underfunded. Yet somehow we think we'll be able to compete with the world in a couple decades.
There’s no diversity in classrooms. We still have segregation, it’s just implemented via housing prices now.
Asians need to score hundreds point higher than black and Hispanic to get into the same school already. Just saying
Not just Hispanics and blacks, the same study also found that Asians have to score higher than White applicants too, other things being equal. I wonder how progressives rationalize that
It's conservatives. It's about America and who they believe to be "true" Americans. Sorry but Asians don't fall under that group for them. I've seen some white parents not decide to send their kids somewhere because it was "too Asian". And trust me. They were far from progressive.
Unless you're so brainwashed you think it was the progressives who locked up a bunch of Asians for no reason during WW2 instead of fighting for your rights 🤷♂️
There's a lot of talk about it in classrooms as well . Why tech? Because it's hot and in demand right now
