They are trying to match the representation of their neighborhood outside tech in order to serve them with more tailored products
What does a South African have in common with someone from Compton? I’d argue very little other than relative melanin levels. What you’re talking about is culture, not race.
Tailored products? Like what? Hip hop cloud? Latino spread sheets? That is the dumbest argument
It should not but it’s easier to focus on ethnicity (race) to meet diversity quotas. Philosophy behind it is to promote equal opportunity and hire based on talent. It’s harder in practice. Executed correctly, it prevents Group think and spurs innovation.
To keep the white male down, I think. 🤔
I don’t think it’s that either It’s just optics
Companies want to make it look like they’re doing something good without having to take the time to get to know the individuals they’re hiring.

It doesn’t. Just happens to be typically what contributes to diversity of thought. Differences in cultural exposure = diversity of thought = $$$ for business.

Who are you voting for in the 2024 Presidential Election?
Because our companies are focused on physical diversity but are opposed to diversity of thought.
Nailed it. They just want to appear diverse, so if someone takes a snapshot of their staff... It will look like a rainbow....
