You're getting downvoted for the throwaway, but I had the same thought. Amazing to see such a complete lack of diversity, and sad to see it being ignored by almost everyone in their responses.

I don't know. Just listening to the many different accents in the video, there were people from many different places. All of us have different stories, even white guys. Diversity is not just about skin color, although some seem to think so.
There seemed to be plenty of people from lots of different parts of the world. If you were actually concerned about diversity maybe you should be looking more than skin deep yourself.
This is a company located in Germany, there are almost no non white people here...
I call doener kebab on that. Almost 10% are from Turkey. Depends on what you mean by almost.
If you count all from Turkish descent in Berlin, then that would be 6%. Most are 'white'.
It is less than 10% in Berlin and most of them are second or third generation descendants of immigrants and most definitely white Germans "mit Migrationshintergrund".
That's Europe, though. If you want diversity, go for a drive and cross a few borders.
There are some women developers in the video, for one.

Two, I imagine the number of non-white software developers in Germany is very, very small.

oh for fuck's sake.
