How is this relevant? Are you implying that Palantir's engineering team should consist only of 4.4% Asians?
Also, that 4.4% comes from US demographics, right? Should Palantir not consider international applicants?
You got it. Otherwise it is evidence the other 95.6% are being discriminated against. Are you implying that women in tech should not be 50%?
>Should Palantir not consider international applicants?
No it should not.
The same goes for Asians. If 85% of people applying to Palantir are Asian and we continue to assume equality of ability, then 85% of hired applicants should be Asian.
I'm not saying that Palantir is discriminating, these are averages - I'm sure there are tech companies out there where 15% of applicants are Asian but 85% of the work-force is Asian.
Palantir is a business, it's here to make as much money as possible. If it can make more money by also recruiting international applicants, I see no reason why it shouldn't.
