I'm not sure of your point.
I'm pointing out the inherent racism in these efforts in practice.
The only really positive thing I saw was hiring more from HBCU's.
But that crowd never pointed out white people were underrepresented in tech. And that lots of the black people they claimed they were helping by hiring were actually Pacific Islanders, African immigrants and second generation African immigrants rather than ADOS that they claimed to be helping
tbf this should all start at the education level so that black/hispanic/indigenous girls/gays/whatevers aren't joining CS classes, looking around and thinking they don't belong there, but until that's reality all we can do is tackle it where it impacts people the most - hiring.
What is the bias and causes it?
Because I don't think it's a systemic bias in the hiring system, so why not solve the problem rather than trying to patch the effect.
Prove it.
I never thought that. That part of me was irrelevant to the degree, and I found it great that no one cared and were able to focus on the degree.
Forcing diversity topics in and making them a focus instead would have been hell.
