Of course they don't use the word "quota" but that's what it is. Their "argument" is that since blacks use cell phones, they should get jobs in the industry on that basis alone!!! Skills should not matter.

may 4 2018 WASHINGTON (AP) — African-Americans are among the top owners of mobile devices, but aren’t being considered when it’s time for social media and technology companies to hire.

The National Urban League is highlighting this new technology gap in its 2018 State of Black America report released Thursday, and pushing social media and technology companies to put in place safeguards and corporation solutions to make sure minorities don’t get left behind in the digital revolution.

“C-suite executives of tech firms publicly espouse the gospel of racial and gender diversity and inclusion, but these spaces do not reflect our nation’s demographic diversity,” said Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League. “Only increased representation from top to bottom will drive corporate change that prioritizes equity.”

Morial said that the latest Equal Employment Opportunity reports filed by Google, Facebook and Twitter showed that only 758, or 1.8 percent, of their combined workforce of 41,000 employees, were black. And their own research showed that in the majority of tech companies, fewer than five percent of the workforce is black, while at least half of the workforce is white.

Why don't blacks get degrees in IT or physics or engineering if they want a job at google?? I know - "That's too hard, dood." A degree in sociology or african studies is a waste.

I worked in Silicon Valley and found hiring qualified blacks were almost impossible. HR made me hire a few and what a disaster, I don't think most could use a calculator. The affirmative action degrees are worthless.

Blacks do get those degrees at about the same rate whites do. What the Urban League is talking about is including Blacks among those who are hired from the multiracial pool of well-qualified applicants.
