The same tables show that 11-19% of the underrepresented minorities are getting degrees in engineering or computer science. Let’s say 30% total. 30% of the 5% is 1.5% so they’re actually ahead of the curve with 1.6%.

You don’t cite your numbers. The government’s numbers say 5% of working STEM people nationally are black. How that is broken down by discipline isn’t stated, and you don’t state it either. I also don’t know where Twitter is located, and what the demographics are at those locations. I have no problem with Twitter’s…

What “math”? Why is it usually those not in STEM who whine about STEM percentages? I pretty much doubt that Kenny is or he’d know exactly why the percentages are so low. It’s no big mystery to anyone that is.

Good lord, it’s so much worse than your whining and the cutesy messages you post, sweetie.

You have a very strange definition of that case, silly person.

I’m sure there is a few accountants and cleaning staff there as well. Those numbers actually look as good as just about anyplace else in engineering I’ve seen, actually. I’m also not aware of large numbers of unemployed black engineers that they might hire so you have better feels about it.

I can make up numbers too. I’d say about 1/3 of them should be black.

Sounds like a personal problem.

In other words, the original statement was bullshit. But then we already all knew that.

Why should more than three times that many of them be black?

Then you know how small the pool of black engineers is. So why are you bitching, thanks?

You mean if you don’t view it through the dark glasses of liberal feminism.

Which is what? Some Viet woman is suing them?

Are you in STEM? Then stop bitching. There are very few black engineers.

Yeah, that’s why there are so many Asians and Indians at these companies - because white men only like to hire white men.

Doing it in an article on fracking videos with such language, yes.

Some of them do indeed talk like the major stereotype. Cracks me up.

One of the PBS commentators sounded like she smoked so much she wheezed all the time. So annoying I stopped listening.

It’s an attempt to use big words describing “poor me”.

If whining is all you’ve got.....yes.
