Of course everybody says they're TRYING to increase diversity, but none have actually DONE it. But not because there's a lack of qualified diverse candidates applying there. If they wanted to solve the problem, they could, but it's not a priority for them. Facebook grew their overall employee base by nearly 400% over the past 6 years, but their percentage of black employees only grew by 0.8%.

Growing from 3% to 3.8% is 26% growth over 5 years or roughly 5% per year. That's incredibly far away from "none have actually DONE it". If you could solve systemic problems in just 5 years then why hasn't anyone done it over the last 200 years?

By the way the facebook data is only from 2014 to 2019. The headline is misleading when you only look at facebook.
