Latinos are the nation’s largest ethnic or racial minority and its fastest-growing group

Cisco Systems, the multinational tech giant based in San Jose, has no Latino on its board of directors.

Across a huge screen at a recent San Diego business conference, before 6,300 executives and professionals, Aguilera splashed the names of 47 of the nation’s Fortune 100 corporations with no Latino directors. “We don’t want anybody to be under-engaged, whether they’re African American or Asian American or Anglo American. But we do want to see Latino and Latina Americans at par,” said Solomon Trujillo, a former chief executive of telecommunications firm U.S. West who joined Western Union’s board in 2012.

An Exxon Mobil spokesperson declined to comment on the lack of Latinos on the company’s 13-member board, which has two Black directors, but said the board “believes diversity of thought, experience, and background is critical for successful governance.” But frustration over the slow pace of progress is spurring bold tactics. Latino Voices for Boardroom Equity, a coalition including civil rights groups UnidosUS and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, has launched a public online tracker showing how many Latinos, if any, are on the board of each Fortune 1000 company.

The letters, offering to provide lists of “highly qualified” candidates, request meetings to discuss diversity plans “inclusive of Latinos.” But the tally is so far underwhelming: Just 3.7% of the directors of California’s largest 505 companies are Latino, according to a January survey by the data analytics firm ISS Corporate Solutions. That compares with 14.6% who are Asian and 6.2% who are Black.

Blacks & Latinos*

Yo Trib relax…they illegally jumped our border like two weeks ago and you’re cryin they ain’t CEO yet.🤷‍♂️

Looking for the next pot to stir Trib? Meanwhile Shitcago is on fire, get your head out of the clouds and your asses

Because all the regulatory and cultural scales tilt in favor of blacks, and intelligence and hard work are in favor of Asians.

I thought it was 'Latinx'... Or is that not popular anymore.

We are alright...we will start our own.

Mind blowing piece from the TRIB. So what Madigan was doing with Ochoa was actually a.............good thing trying to 'diversify' ComEd's own board? I bet Madigan's and Pamaggiore's atty can bring this point up as defense unrolls.

Yet Latinos are the most underrepresented group on California boards, making up only 3.7% of the boards of directors in the 505 largest publicly-traded companies in the state. margotroosevelt reports: LatinX Oh boy!! This’ll really make me feel better about Latinx-run-banks (aka “banx”) getting bailed out by the government! Tech more racist than the South. Blake Lemoine mentioned witnessing more racist shit working for Google than living in Alabama. Tech likes to paint itself as liberal corporations that wanna change the world for the better. I call bull caca!

San Mateo Co. school board sues social media companies over mental health crisisThe San Mateo County Board of Education and its superintendent are suing some of the biggest names in social media. A ploy to use taxpayer $ to get name recognition to grift into higher office. Social media is parental responsibility and they know it.

San Mateo education board files lawsuit against social media companiesSan Mateo County school officials filed a lawsuit this week alleging three major social media companies -- YouTube, TikTok and Snapchat -- are designed to be purposefully addictive and that the platforms have sparked a mental health crisis among young people. Of course they were designed to be interactive but addictive? Surely that is down to first, parental control, second, the users themselves. Everything in moderation! This is just enabling bad behaviors by not holding the users responsible for time spent on the platforms. Parents should sue the school for woke indoctrination Multiple studies. Unpublished. Indisputable. My tech bro friends give their kids flip phones. Elephant’s in the room. Legal discovery.
