I highly doubt that this mysterious "company with a large proportion of the search engine market" is filled with 65yo white males.

In fact it would actually make them significantly more diverse if they were to hire some 65yo white males.

You've confused the two companies that the parent was talking about. The company that wanted diversity had a contact with the 'mystery' company that has a search engine.

My thought was Microsoft. There are a ton of those from back in the day still there.

I suspect Microsoft. I've heard more than one young white person complain they don't want to work with "old" people. I don't think this is a tech thing as much as an American society thing. We are too biased against older age groups.
