It almost looks like they tried to present the data in the most-negative-to-fb possible way, just in terms of ordering if nothing else. I'd also be interested in citizen vs. immigrant (of various status); someone from Russia moving to Menlo Park to work for Facebook really is not directly interchangeable on a diversity metric vs. a 5th generation American of any race, IMO. Native-Bay-Area vs. moved-to-Bay-Area before vs. moved for FB might be an interesting metric, too.

It really only matters that they keep measuring it the same way and then watch for trends as they try to change things, though. Good job for caring and being quantitative IMO.

What amazes me is how low the "two or more races" category is. I would have expected a much larger percentage there.
