I saw this as part of a job posting:
Highly inclusive culture, with more than 90% of our workforce coming from historically underrepresented backgrounds in Tech
If you relegate the majority of your industry to a single-digit percentage of your workforce, is that highly inclusive or highly exclusive?
If it were up to me as a lover of freedom, companies could hire whoever they want to, but my understanding is that my opinion does not align with the laws of the United States, which prohibit companies from hiring based on race, sex, etc., etc., etc.
Given that the numbers above couldn’t have been achieved by accident, is that even legal? The fact that the company advertises it suggests that maybe it is, but everything I know about employment law (i.e., not much) suggests that it isn’t.
Thus spoke The Programmer.
