Why would they do this?
A better question is, why would they have thought to inflict such a cringeworthy thing on the public in the first place?

#12Maybe 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.

#13No 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.

#15Updated 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.

Yeah, how about that? Look beyond the Stanford/MIT/Berkeley pipeline, find people who are good, not just part of the techbro club.
