There's an implication here that 7% of the tech workforce being Black is an obvious indication of disparate treatment. Taking programmers as an example, the claim is that the industry is actively discriminating against Black workers for a 1:2 ratio, while at the same time fetishizing Asian employees by having them over-represented 4:1. Whites are also underrepresented. Is anybody investigating that?
I'd be perfectly happy to support their cause if they provided evidence of discrimination to back their claims, but these accusations come off as sensationalist, statistically innumerate and lazy.
