Yeah, I held up for a second because of that, but the data presented is from the US EEOC, so presumably applies to their US workforce. Their workforce might be "largely white" when compared to the worldwide FB userbase, but not to who they're allowed to hire domestically.

Then shouldn't Facebook hire more Chinese and Indians? They comprise ~35% of the world population.

Since Chinese people are not the users of Facebook he should not hire any Chinese :D.

I wonder how they plan to deal with the GFW-induced disproportionally low Chinese users problem.
