The state of the art in diversity appears to be blaming whites for the under-representation of certain minorities groups (blacks, Hispanics), even when that under-representation is actually due to the over-representation of other minority groups (Asians): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10527668

How will a diversity consultant (whatever that is) help with this? Recommend Anti-Asian quotas, like the kind elite universities in the US already employ?

Asians, according to this article[1], represent 29% of Twitter's workforce overall and 34% of its technical workforce, despite being only 4% of the US population, while whites are significantly under-represented at 59% and 58% of their overall and technical workforce. Twitter's candidate pool is plenty diverse already.

According to the figures in this[1] article, whites are technically under-represented at Twitter relative to their percentage of the general population, yet both it and the NPR article take for granted that there is a lack of ethnic diversity at Twitter and other tech companies, despite non-whites collectively being over-represented at them.

While certain minorities (blacks, Hispanics) are indeed under-represented at tech companies like Twitter, others (Asians) are over-represented, and to such a degree that whites actually end up under-represented. Yet a careless reader could easily be misled by these and other articles into believing that whites are crowding out minorities, which is demonstrably not the case.

I doubt this deception is accidental.
