Mark S. Luckie, who worked for Facebook as a strategic partner manager with an emphasis on underrepresented voices, made the claim in an internal memo that has now been released publicly. The memo describes widespread failure by the company to represent its employees and users of colour. Luckie describes the company culture as hostile to dissenting voices of color. Luckie also argues that the firm’s inclusion efforts are inadequate, and relegated to those working specifically on diversity. “While we have invested significant resources into diversity initiatives, our current approach is not sufficient given the scale of this challenge,” he wrote.
