Why the World Hates SILICON VALLEY

[mrmpa]

4. Why I hate Silicon Valley.............

because its workforce is not representative of the population of the US. If you look at google or any of these companies what you see are white males, Asians and an occasional female and an occasional African American. They also only recruit from specific schools.

I remember reading not long ago, that I think it was the University of Alabama (I might be mistaken) graduates 40% of African American Computer Science majors. But you will never see Silicon Valley recruiting there.

Today, I read this article by Dr. Phil Spriggs, an Economics Professor at Howard University and a former Assistant Secretary of Labor in the Obama administration. According to the Professor African American Computer Science grads outnumber Asian Computer Science grads. Just think about that, for a minute.
