> For Palantir’s software engineer position, for example, Palantir hired 14 non-Asian engineers and 11 Asian engineers — even though 85 percent of the 1,160 applicants for the position were Asian, according to the complaint

Another interesting issue here is that 85% of software engineering applicants were Asian. Is that typical in Silicon Valley? Or is Palantir special in attracting Asian applicants?
