This is actually fairly easy. Typically in tech, management and ownership % for white men approach 100% in the limit. So companies will typically count as investing in a minority business all of the edge cases you can think of, because the norm is ~100% white men in positions of power in a company.

> if the company is owned by white people, but upper management is fully black

This is an intellectual creation that does not exist in the real world as a company that has received institutional capital.

Well, would you count Jews as “white” in this context? Because Google, Facebook and Microsoft are all managed and/or mostly owned by Asians and Jews.

Jews come in many ethnicities. I would imagine that for example Jews from Ethiopia are not considered "white." But I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

The point was that you claimed that close to 100% of businesses were owned and managed by “white men”. Clearly that’s not remotely true.

Context is tech businesses funded by institutional capital. Statement is directionally correct in that context.
