"Facebook isn't trying hard enough to increase its diversity"

Numerical diversity is not a metric of true equality. It is better to have a business wildly lopsided towards one group but all treated equally than one with equal division that is generated through artificially padding the count through selective discrimination and favoritism in the hiring and managing process. The best applicants should be hired, the best employees should be promoted, and then the diversity chips should be allowed to fall where they may. That is true equality.

Well said. I also agree with LurkerJ that the problem is in the education.

The problem is equality in attaining the same skillsets. People should have an equal opportunity to receive good education. But this is more of an economic/class issue than a diversity one.

For race its mostly random chance and circumstances outside companies' control, yes.  With women, another posibility is maybe women in general have a lower number per capita who WANT to work in the tech industry?  Men and Women are equal, but not the same.  The fact that sometimes these disparities are just part of that needs to be accepted.  

Also, the video with that female lecturer linked in the first page is cool and a lot of her videos are quite good and level headed it seems.  Too bad people who are level headed like that aren't signal boosted like these shock-jock sensationalists and social media rabble-rousers are.
