Had to check again on the diversity questions and yeah...wow. Almost no one has those numbers on hand, nor should they.

We typically refer to it as Diversity & Inclusion, and a company's initiatives should include things like a diverse hiring policy, training on unconscious bias, how to identify and resolve in office bullying, anti-harassment training, and more. In an interview I'd want to know what the company has in place AND how seriously the company treats it (because some training is legally mandated).

Boiling it down to percentages of demographics is naive.
