I feel like we learn so little about Russia. It's so interesting looking up all these different people that live in such a gigantic country. Such a wide variety of ethnicities.

The angle is throwing me off a bit when trying to match up with a map. In this picture, up isn't north, it's a bit northeast.

Couple of critiques :

- The source should be stated clearly in the image.

- You shouldn't interpolate between categorical data points.

- Total population breakdown should sum up to 100% (or you should at least explain why it doesn't if there's an explanation).

- Comparing employee racial distribution to HQ state or country population is absolutely meaningless for companies who have employees in other states / countries (which is gonna be the case for all of the companies listed here)

In Denver, where a lot of these PMC tech goons live, they are pushing out working class people that have lived in those neighborhoods for decades. Gone are the historic beautiful homes and in with the shitty “modern” townhouses that cost millions. People of ALL skin colors in these privileged, high paying jobs are fucking up America. Stop obsessing over the culture war and dividing people.

Look it’s also a case of anecdotal evidence. I declined many black male tech candidates because they didn’t have the level expertise I was looking for but I also came across a black woman whose expertise blew them out of the water. I know I have bias towards women in tech based on my experience. Say of the 40 I know, 35 are out of their element it seems. But then the remanning 5 know more and do their job better than any man I know.
