Jim Crow in Silicon Valley is exposed
Companies are claiming that when they hire Asians on temporary work visas, they are hiring "minorities" and, as such, claim a bogus "diversity" count that hides the facts that they discriminate against American minorities and especially prevent the hiring of African-Americans into good paying middle-class jobs in favor of foreigners streaming into this country, many of whom have been caught fabricating their qualifications using such things as fake resumes. As we all know, Obama and his assistants foot drag the enforcement of excessive foreign immigration in order to please the big corporations such as the big Banks and Automotive they have helped to bail out, many of whom also bend the rules to encourage the hiring of foreigners and outsource jobs instead of hiring Americans.

Jim Crow in Silicon Valley is exposed

(NNPA)—This is the age of high technology. IT companies are leading the way in job growth and high paying jobs as the world does business at the speed of thought. No place else in the world concentrates in this
industry better than the Silicon Valley of California (Palo Alto-San
Jose area). So with California having a minority population of 52
percent, logic would dictate that this is a place of much diversity and
opportunity for Blacks and Hispanics. Sadly, that, according to
investigative reporting from the San Jose Mercury News, is not the case.
This industry in this location is probably the most segregated and
discriminatory place in the United States. The hiring and training by
companies like Google, Apple, Yahoo, Oracle, Applied Materials, Hewlett
Packard, Cisco and others are acting more like the Ku Klux Klan than a
good corporate citizen.
It is easy to do when traditional civil rights groups give you a pass as long as you provide sponsorship money for their fundraising events. Some groups even join with these culprits on advocacy and legislative
issues as if these bastions of racism are examples of good inclusive
governance. This is damaging and has caused these rascals to go free of
public criticism until now.
The Mercury News used the Freedom of Information Act to get hiring data as late as 2005 from the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Federal Contract Compliance, which tracks this under Executive Order
11246. Every two years major corporations are audited for their racial
and gender demographics at all levels of hiring. The News tried to get
2008 data but companies like Google, Apple, Yahoo, Oracle and Applied
Materials have successfully blocked access to that data in the courts.
It is a good reason that they did as the numbers are just un-American.
Of the 10 companies investigated, here are the results. Collectively, only 2.1 percent of the workforce is Black while only 5.2 percent of the workforce is Hispanic. The News states “Of the 5,907 top managers
and officials in the Silicon Valley offices of the 10 large companies in
2005, 296 were Black or Hispanic, a 20 percent decline from 2000,
according to U.S. Department of Labor workforce data obtained by the
Mercury News through the Freedom of Information Act. In 2008, the share
of computer workers living in Silicon Valley who are Black or Latino was
1.5 percent and 4.7 percent, respectively—shares that had declined
since 2000. Nationally, Blacks and Latinos were 7.1 percent and 5.3
percent of computer workers, respectively, shares that were up since
2000, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The share of managers and top
officials who are female at those 10 big Silicon Valley firms slipped
to 26 percent in 2005, from 28 percent in 2000.â€
