I worked at Apple. In our org of 1000 people there were/are zero black leaders/senior managers

It’s all Indians and Chinese

But we'll call that "diversity" because they're not white.

It's like the southern Bay Area in general, the least black place I have ever lived. People call it diverse, but it's really just 4 ethnic groups that rarely intermingle. It's not diverse like LA or NYC are diverse.

None of the companies I worked for considered Asian tech workers "diverse". One actually carved out a separate category for Asian males: ND. Negative Diversity.

I'm not doubting your companies' policies, but just throwing my data point in there too.

Where I was at there surely were internal "Asian" community groups with a budget and so on, for one. Don't think proposing a "White" or even "American" or "European" one would've gone over especially well.
