This does seem worse. Google is at the mercy of hiring from the pipeline of universities CS programs and graduate programs.
Vice is hiring journalism, english, art history, classics majors and all random degress where there is absolutely no constraint.
It is much, much easier to find a black entry level employee who has ANY undergrad degree (journalism) than it is to find a black entry level employee from Stanford CS (tech).
Part of the problem is the US immigration system. Instead of hiring the best talent possible at the highest wages possible, they hire the cheapest overseas talent -- by means of flooding the system with applications. This is bad for immigrants who are truly are top talent, and who deserves to be paid more.
This is also bad for local workers, especially minorities w/o connections, because Big Tech would rather higher an overseas worker at a low wage as an indentured servant while they work their way out of the H1B system over a decade.
