Pot Calling the Kettle . . . White?
7th October 2014
BLUF: Editorial from the New York Times criticizes Apple, Google, and Facebook for employing mostly white and Asian males contains link to the New York Times editorial board which is (wait for it) mostly white males.
The Times says it is a “problem” that “Most [Silicon Valley] employees are white and Asian men.” So let’s count! Sure enough, 11 of the editorial board’s 19 members are white or Asian men. Worse, only one out of 19 is African-American. That’s a little under one-half the proportion of African-Americans in the population. How about a Rooney Rule for the New York Times?
You can’t make this stuff up.
