Curious to know what percentage of White men felt it was important: &quot;Unsurprisingly, women and minority groups value diversity most, with 72 percent of women, 89 percent of African Americans, 80 percent of Asians, and 70 percent of Latinos calling it an important factor. Interestingly, military veterans were also among those most likely to value diversity at 65 percent.&quot;<p>And this is just embarrassing: &quot; &#x27;Many people that I’ve interacted within the tech space, particularly white men, never really talked to a black woman before. Never held a conversation. It’s shocking.&#x27; In other words, if you’re the only black woman at a company full of white men, communication may be a bit strained.&quot;
