    Not a single black person. This is what happens in a true merit based system without diversity hires.

      The problem with this argument is that by not fixing the issues created by slavery and centuries of oppression you aren’t really doing a merit based system. And to imply that black people are not as smart as white people has no basis in reality.

      What is the point of this comment? Are you just being racist and insulting Black people?

        Guy Person is a racist troll.

        Databricks is in the top 35% of similar companies in terms of diversity. So really I guess if they were trying to say this was an achievement without people of color and diversity I’d guess they just self owned themselves since in fact it’s considered diverse in its field.

        Edit: I shouldn’t use gender assumption language even though guy is fairly gender neutral where I am (you guys).

    Startup Databricks

    At what point does it stop being a step start-up? Because AFAIK their income must be in the hundreds of millions at least.

        Databricks would be more accurately called a “venture backed pre-IPO growth company.” But saying “startup” is shorter and tends to get used more to convey the same basic idea.
