Not only that -- if anything the numbers behind them point to comparative ratios in mangers-to-overall workers that are, for Amazon's purposes, decidedly less than peachy: (asian=1.38, white=1.18, hispanic=0.44, black=0.26).
Those are just "thumbnail" ratios, taken by dividing Amazon's percentages off the chart; we don't have enough information to infer the exact ratios, of course. But taking the case of gender, if we make a reasonable guess of a 4:1 ratio of workers-to-management, we can readily pop out a 60-40 split (male-female) for non-management workers, compared with the 75-25 split for management workers.
We still don't have enough information to conclude evidence (from these charts alone) that Amazon has systematic problems promoting women or non-whites to management (we'd need more hard data, and some basis for comparing with other companies). But the point isn't that we've caught Amazon at something, or that the charts are lying; it's rather that the charts are meaningless. They're simply eye candy; just don't really convey anything one way or another about the fairness of Amazon's hiring practices, or about anything else really.
