Twitter still has a major problem with employee diversity

Why is Twitter always catching flak for this? What makes them different than literally any other company? They provide a software messaging service, among a sea of other software messaging services. They&#x27;re a blip on Humanity&#x27;s timeline.<p>It just feels really contrived to count all the black people at Twitter and then start complaining about it. Why does it matter?

&quot;However, the company remains overwhelmingly comprised of white men — 69 percent of employees are male and 54 percent are white.&quot;<p>63% of America is white so if Apple is hiring 54% white, then that makes it more diverse than America, not less.<p>Of course, the reason this is the case has nothing to do with diversity efforts and entirely due to Apple retail stores comprising the bulk of Apple&#x27;s workforce which draws from lower income demographics who are less white than the average American. Plus, the disproportionate representation of Asians in tech.

White dudes like computers more than other groups. Don&#x27;t chastise the companies. Teach other groups a love for computers.

&gt; could have made a bold statement by hiring a woman or racial minority for what is ultimately a symbolic role<p>not sure why it would have been bold, considering the author seems to have expected them to do it. Shouldn&#x27;t the preference be to hire someone who can make the role more than symbolic?

If we&#x27;re really aspiring to a post-racial society, shouldn&#x27;t having a white male VP of diversity be OK? Progressive, even. What is the author trying to say, that white men can&#x27;t fill that role as well as a black female?
