"A discussion about race in Silicon Valley has to start with the facts,
facts the federal government already collects and many companies openly
share. But Apple simply doesn't want data about its racial makeup
publicized, by anyone.
The company fought for 18 months to suppress Department of Labor data
about the racial composition of its workforce, joining open-information
hypocrite Google and several other tech companies in fighting an article
by the local San Jose Mercury News. Now Apple, joined by Google,
Twitter, and Facebook, is on the defensive again, trying to starve CNN
of the same federally collected data."
Computer geeks tend to be white guys.
