Maybe they realized that 71% of Silicon Valley being foreign-born H1b visa holders isn’t really the best image for ‘diversity’?

Bonus: almost half of Meta employees are from Asia.

Reminds me of a screenshot of WPengines ‘diversity’ pledge on their website that proceeded to state nearly 80% of their staff were female. They changed it not long after.

No one there seems to be over 40. I feel excluded, and am being entirely serious here. Also - Twitter have offices in Ireland, don't they? How is religious diversity coming along in the Dublin office? The Catholic-Protestant conflict is less bitter in Dublin than in Belfast, but one cannot pretend discrimination and division is about race everywhere.

Exactly. I see people of both sexes and various shades, who all look the same.

Updated the title with November 16th (rather than 11th which is the last date it appears on Wayback Machine) as I was able to narrow it down using Google's Cache: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache%3Ahttps...

The 25% minorities seems trivial to hit with Asians/Indians and is probably naturally higher than that. But wow on the woman quota, I can’t imagine how easy they had to make those interviews to hit that number.

They said the same about MIT (50-50 gender ratio). In reality smart women just like studying with other smart women. I doubt it's different in the workplace.

In other words, there's a positive feedback loop.
