Ondrej Holzman Big U.S. tech companies may soon have to start releasing national data on the diversity of their workforces, which they have so far provided only to the government. Democratic Congresswoman Barbara Lee advocated for it while visiting Silicon Valley.
Lee visited Silicon Valley with two other members of the Congressional Black Caucus, GK Butterfield and Hakeem Jeffries, and appealed to tech firms to hire more African-Americans.
"We asked everyone to post their data," introduced pros USA Today Lee. "If they believe in inclusion, they need to release the data so the public knows they are transparent and committed to doing the right thing."
[do action=”quote”]Apple seems to be moving in the right direction.[/do]
All companies send demographic data about their employees to the Department of Labor, and Apple, for example, is on request USA Today refused to publish. However, Apple is one of the most active in the technology world when it comes to diversifying its workforce.
In July, head of human resources Denise Young Smith she revealed, that more and more women are coming to Apple and that the iPhone maker wants to be even more transparent about this topic, i.e. in the spirit of what American lawmakers want.
“Apple seems to be moving in the right direction. Tim Cook wants his company to look like the whole country, and I think they're very committed to doing everything they can for that," Lee said of the tech giant. However, it would also like to obtain data from smaller, fast-growing start-ups such as Uber, Square, Dropbox, Airbnb or Spotify.
Apple is showing that the ice is beginning to move, and it's possible that other companies will follow suit. Until now, most technology companies have refused to publish such data, arguing that it is a trade secret. But times are changing and diversity is becoming an increasingly important topic for society.
Diversity is code for the slow genocide of an entire race. Write it down by ear. Leftists fulfilling the goals and plans of the Jewish elites will take care of it.
In such a China, the white race was already totally exterminated. God, you've had enough.
Yeah, I've had enough of stupid, sunny people like you. if you still don't understand what's going on and what's going on, ask someone to help you. You need to light up.

I do not understand that!!! After all, I will employ a person who can do what I want and need for the company, not what he looks like, what is his race, nationality and if he is male / female!!!
I find it quite racist. I think ability should decide, if I guarantee it, I'm not a racist from my point of view. I just hire someone because they can do what I want. But if someone is going to see if there are enough black people working for me, then that's racism.
And the sentence “Apple seems to be moving in the right direction. "Tim Cook wants his company to look like the whole country" is really out of line for me.
Dear Ms. Barbara Lee. I'm dumb, I can't speak American, I know about IT
only what TV zhovna broadcasts, but I would like to be paid by one of
those companies, for example Apple. I doubt someone like me, already at Apple
he is on the payroll and so I am eligible for a position with them because in interest
maintaining diversification is necessary for me there. You seem to have made it
same way to congress. Thank you.
Of course, it's not about everyone working in the company. It's enough if one (preferably a white man) does the work, and he keeps the other bums alive (preferably of a race other than white).
Although the company does not make money on its own, the main thing is that it has the right representation of which race.
Genius of the 21st century! Hooray
These are exactly the prejudices that led to the creation of the whole initiative.
Asians are used to working 16 hours a day, Ukrainians are the ones who work on construction sites, while Czechs drink beer leaning on a pickaxe, what kind of work ethic does Southern Europe have? etc..it's not black and white..and it doesn't apply in general either, that's just my experience, but I know for a hundred percent that it's not about the color of the skin, who works how and what they can do.
I personally do not know a single Czech who does not work. Mainly, it is not about Czechs, but about white people. A company full of white people that has built some kind of market position. And then some smart guy comes along and forces the company to hire some foreigners. Which means that one of the original builders of the company has to be fired.
The same applies the other way around – a company built by blacks, and a smart guy will force them to fire some of the founders and hire whites.
The trick is that the smart guy even allows himself to force anything on anyone.
When people of different races come together and start a company that works, it's because they are capable people. Not because they are all different races.
You have to imagine that in America African-Americans and Mexicans are often the same as our Roma, and the older generations, especially in Central America, are still somehow fixated that they are cheap labor for manual work.
I suppose the original idea was good, so that a dark-skinned programmer wouldn't be dropped from an interview because of prejudice, but getting it by command and, as you write, prioritizing "colored" applicants for the position over a better "white" candidate, just so the company doesn't look racist, is in my opinion, racism in itself.
I agree with the "Peter - pissed off white guy" image shared, unfortunately it has come to this..
It's something. Newly, companies will not hire employees based on their abilities, but based on gender and race. And this is supposed to be a fight against racism... This whole initiative is the same crap as advocating that more men work in cosmetics boutiques, etc. and that, for example, companies from South Africa hire more white people. And the Congressional Black Caucus is really something. I would like to see if the white senators started their white club, it would immediately be everywhere about the return of the kkk, etc. Welcome to America, the land of equal opportunities!
