If you want to understand Silicon Valley, watch Silicon Valley

By this report Google is 56.6% white.

My experience is that white male Americans are roughly 25% of the Silicon Valley workforce, but if you bundle in white immigrants and women you might reach 40-50%.

As I remember the TV show, the main characters are 80% white, and the Indian guy is the whitest one I've seen.

Small sample, I know, and I'm not offended. Just a little bored...

So a guy who was born and raised in Pakistan and has a Pakistani accent is culturally white? What exactly does that mean? Does it mean that he’s educated and wealthy?

I think he means, that guy is more culturally white than the Indians who he finds in the SV.
