I find the numbers a little weird. While 'black' and 'hispanic' are underrepresented in the graphs, 'asian' is heavily overrepresented (in yahoo's case, it's triple the percentage), and 'asian' isn't a single ethnicity. Not only are south asians not east asians or west asians (culturally or physically), but Chinese aren't Koreans, who aren't Vietnamese, who aren't Filipino and so forth (these are the groups in the BLS report). The author seems to be using 'diversity' to mean 'proportion of black faces', rather than diversity across the board.
