Uber releases disappointing diversity report, strives for ‘transparency’
Many people criticized its numbers and the names of its staff groups, which included a lot of ethnic puns. However, the employee pool isn’t much different from other tech organizations.

On Tuesday, Uber released its first diversity report—and many are criticizing, not applauding, the move.
The organization’s report starts off strong with a section on the initiatives it funds and its goals, including bringing more women and minorities into its fold:
We’re dedicating $3 million over the next three years to support organizations working to bring more women and underrepresented people into tech. This year, our recruiting team is also embarking on a college tour to recruit talented students at colleges across the country, including a number of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs). Our employee resource groups play a huge role in all our recruiting events that are focused on hiring women and people of color at Uber.
Then, however, the report quickly dissolves into a string of disappointing diversity statistics and puns.
