But guess what they also have a black diversity officer too. https://www.facebook.com/maxine.williams.5205?fref=ts http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/jun/25/facebook-diversity-report-black-white-women-employees
The difference is, the tech industry is fairly recent in comparison to the ad industry. And (whether it's true or not) they are currently making public statements about increasing diversity. Whereas the ad industry has been discriminatory toward black people since the 1940s.

When did "Black diversity officer" become synonymous with "nothing's going to actually get done?"
