| "prevent the interviewers from seeing the candidate, knowing their name, or hearing their voice" And what happens representation becomes even more skewed? The fact is the Valley employs gender/ethnicity almost perfectly commensurate with those graduating with CS degrees. It's borderline bigoted to imply that 'it's all due to racism'. Yes, surely there are gender/ethnic issues, but the funnel is 90% of the problem. There's no fair way to hire 50% females if only 15% of applicants are female. I get there's 'dynamic feedback' (i.e. more women in tech encourages more younger women in tech) but again, it's the responsibility of people to make choices in life. I have enough East/South Asian friends to roughly grasp the soft-racism they faced growing up, and they've done very well both as individuals and as a group. This issue needs nuance and few people are willing to speak in those terms. |
