So I was googling some stuff based on your comment.

Intel creates the diversity fund in 2015 for 125 million.

Then a year later in 2016, lays off 11% of their workforce.

Then in 2017, Google hires Danielle Brown the VP who pushed the diversity fund at intel.

I'm beginning to think as a minority woman in tech, These diversity funds are worse than quotas.

Whats the point in being hired, then fired a year later.

I also suspect, every group is afraid of losing their job. Intel firing 11% of its workforce is scary example.
