do you think we should push to recruit more non-Jewish Whites in tech?

I don't think non-Jewish whites are discriminated against in hiring, but if promotion into management is a problem, then yes, management should reflect the population too.

I'd point out that it would appear there is less of a problem with discrimination against non-Jewish white men than against black females (for example), though.

I think prioritising is reasonable.

(I'd also note that in all those cases except Sheryl Sandberg they were founders, so hiring discrimination was a non-factor. I realise this wasn't your point though).

You're focusing on hiring discrimination, but the article's focusing on spending money to increase "upstream" tech interest in under-represented groups. That's because hiring discrimination isn't really the issue; upstream interest (and thus upstream qualification) is.

If non-Jewish White people are underrepresented among successful tech founders, does that not represent an upstream issue?

If that is the case, then yes.

But I suspect that even if you remove the white Jewish cohort from the white group then whites (and especially white males) would still be overrepresented amongst founders.

I don't see the overrepresentation of a minority group as a problem at all. Like you said: Good on them.

If the demographic data for founders looks anything like the demographic data in the linked blog post, White people would be almost perfectly(!) proportionally represented, given the percentage of working-age Americans who are White. White men would indeed be over-represented, and Asian men would be the most over-represented of all.
