Intel's new PC - political correctness

Intel reported Wednesday that 43.3 percent of its hires so far in 2015 are “diverse,” meaning that they are women, African Americans, Latinos or Native Americans.

That exceeds the chip maker’s goal of 40 percent.

[..]

In January, Intel’s chief executive, Brian Krzanich, said that by 2020, as we wrote then, Intel would reach “full representation,” meaning that its workforce would reflect the demographics of the available talent pool.

Rosalind Hudnell, Intel’s chief diversity officer, said in an interview that the company is auditing everything.

Like Facebook, Google and other firms, Intel does employee bias training. But Hudnell said that it’s what happens after the training that matters.

“Training drives awareness, but you have to mitigate the bias through the system,” she said. “How people progress in the company relates to retention. Who is getting promoted, Who is getting stretch assignments.”

Wow, smell the pink kool-aid.

Intel is a dominant force in semis and the computer industry today
because of its founding group of very smart and aggressive white
male technical and scientific pioneers. Those guys hired the best
regardless of skin color. Look at the author list of Intel ISSCC
papers going back as far as you want if you don't believe me.

If BK continues to concentrate on political correctness, quotas,
and satisfying activists instead of hiring and promoting the very
best qualified and concentrating on trying to grow the business
into new areas I'll dump this stock. STFU BK and deliver growth
and profits, not PC PR to polish your liberal credentials.
