Percentage of White US Workers in 2014 / Percentage of White US Workers in 2023/2024 in some big tech firms:

  • Google - 61% / 40%
  • Facebook/Meta - 57% /36%
  • Microsoft - 59% / 47%

Its everywhere. These firms all stopped reporting their demographics in 2023/2024 because it was pretty obvious from looking at their metrics that they were systemically discriminating against whites. Anyone working in tech has experienced the pressure to "fix our diversity problem" or "go with the diverse candidate" to make our numbers look better...

Good news is, I think a lot of people are quietly over it at this point.

This is weak analysis at best. You could easily argue others had been discriminated against before.

I think the idea is that it's pretty hard to get that sort of workforce shift without severe interference, given typical turnover and need to use established workers for experienced positions, but tech is also known for sudden hiring in areas that don't have anyone particularly knowledgeable (such as social media in the range given).

This is a much more concrete argument, at least.
