> If a company does not figure out how to hire, retain, and promote people who are not white men
Agreed. Not hiring the best talent is always bad for a company. If you are biased against your best talent, you've selected worse talent.
However, diversity goals keep moving - they are well past bias issues. Note that tech companies aren't hiring mostly white men at this point - they are in fact outnumbered by Asian men (Google was at 30% and 39% in tech hiring respectively last year.). And yet, we are still talking about the lack of diversity in tech (women remain underepresented, but in terms of ethnicity it's a very diverse place)
