Facebook Workforce Update: 91% of the company’s employees are white or Asian. These include 94% of the tech employees, 86% of the non-tech employees, and 94% of the senior leadership.

We hear from human resources professionals that a company can't be successful unless it looks like America. Well, that's just not true. GS Marena reports that Facebook, one of the biggest companies in the S&P 500 looks nothing like America:
Facebook has released its latest employee diversity report, revealing that there has been little progress in the area since it reported the numbers last time.As per the report, 91% of the company’s employees are white or Asian. These include 94% of the tech employees, 86% of the non-tech employees, and 94% of the senior leadership.

The total percentage of women in the company now stands at 32%, up just 1% from the 31% it reported last time. Of the total tech employees, only 18% are women, while the number stands at a healthy 52% among non-tech employees. Only 23% of the senior leadership are women.

The total number of blacks, Hispanics, and people with two or more races stood unchanged at 2%, 4% and 3%, respectively.
Since, Facebook employees are important campaign contributions to Barack Obama and the Democrat party: shouldn't they shut up about "diversity"?
