Facebook needs more data mining, and more ad's that are customized based off said data mining. Honestly though, even without the ads, if they could just track everything I do a bit more, I would reopen my account in a heartbeat.

So people are complaining because facebook's hiring policies aren't necessarily racist/sexist and they want them to be more racist/sexist?

Yes. 

 

These diversity laws are pure bullshit in my opinion 



So, they need to cut down on the number of Asians employed since they are over-represented?

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.



A business should hire the people that make them the most money and give them the skills to remain competitive regardless of sex and race. If that happens to be asian and white male so be it. The other groups failed to be valuable enough to be hired, not facebooks fault.



weird, its almost as if the tech industry naturally draws interest from specific demographics, and no matter how much affirmative action is implemented, you cant force people to want to get into this career field.

of course not they arent evil. Only white males need not apply.



 

Kaya Thomas, a 20-year-old software engineer, also wrote a blog post in response to the diversity report, stating that she's getting tired of being overlooked due to her gender and ethnicity. "According to most tech companies, if I can't pass an algorithmic challenge or if I'm not a 'culture fit' I don't belong," she wrote. "Ignoring the fact that underrepresented talent exists shows me that they don't care about diversity and they don't want us working in tech."

 

 

I don't feel why I should need to explain this to her but Facebook gets tens of thousands of applicants per position.Like Google, it is a highly prized position.If you can't pass the algorithmic challange they put out to weed out the weaker applicants then tough.
