In a rare glimpse behind the tech curtain, Google on Wednesday released its diversity figures.

The numbers weren't good, but they were also in line with the few other companies that release such figures.

Eighty-three percent of Google's tech workers internationally are male. For non-tech jobs, the number is 52%. Its leadership is made of up 79% men.

In terms of racial diversity, the company overall is 61% white, 30% Asian, 3% Hispanic and 2% Black.

For tech positions, the numbers are similar—60% white, 34% Asian, 2% Hispanic and 1% Black.

In terms of leadership, the company skews more white. Seventy-two percent of its leaders are white, 23% Asian, 2% Black and 1% Hispanic.

1. I live near a google HQ. These 20something millionaires have destroyed our nice hood....

turned it into a weird, sanitized google ghetto --- houses are now unaffordable. A cup of coffee is 4 bucks. Anything that was useful --- hardware stores, shoemaker, etc. is gone -- priced out of the area. What's left? Gyms, bars, coffee joints, high end boutiques.

3. They're well on their way to destroying SF

They've driven the rents up so high that nobody can afford to move in but people who don't mind paying $3500 for a one bedroom apartment, or $4000 for two.

4. And they do not join the community. They take it over, overshadowing everything.

whatever social ecosystem exists -- they crush it. Fuck them, you know what I mean? Just as quickly as they came, they can just as easily leave for greener pastures if it suits them. They have nothing at stake, really. I can only imagine what mess they will leave behind, when they go.

6. Try reading the comments on SF Gate

The attitude is that if you're not smart enough to make as much money as they do you should be driven out of SF so they can have your apartment. If not for rent control there would be nobody left in the city but young entitled A-holes.
