"Racism" is a straw man argument. The fact that Asians, Indians and others do very well proves that. The real problems are universal and effect all groups. Pushing Identity politics into these programs and creating exclusive victim hood grievance clubs breeds far more resentment and Racism on all sides then anything else.

Are you seriously arguing that because some Indian and some Asian people succeed, racism is not actually a problem?

  Your argument is a logical fallacy. If it was institutional "racism" against non-European ethnicities that was a cause of disparity then there would be no Asians, Indians etc. Unless you want to make the claim that Europeans, Asians, and Indians are all "racist" specifically towards Africans in some grand ultra "racism" conspiracy. There would also be a long line of qualified African Engineers that could not get jobs. Which is false. The racism towards Europeans, Asians Indians and others by the Identity Politics Grievance Industry Industry (most of which are 'rich' 'white' peopel) is Disgusting and has no place in Tech or any other field. Its a self perpetuating social cancer that has metastasized in the social sciences.

    Your argument appears to imply that racism cannot exist if even one person of minority succeeds. That is sheer idiocy. If you're able to hold that opinion in the face of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary I don't think there is a point in continuing.

      You have stated the hypothesis that a conspiracy of "Racism" is the reason why that certain groups under preform in the tech industry. Prove it. Prove that there is a conspiracy of "Racism". Prove that there is a conspiracy of "Racism" between Asians, Europeans, Indians and other groups who have done proportionally well in the tech industry. It is a delusional baseless self serving Ideology not an examination of socioeconomic and educational disparity that perpetuates this narrative of the "Silicone Valley Hood Men" who rule the tech industry.

        You are asking me to prove that racism exists? The rest of your post makes absolutely no sense. What on earth is a "Silicone Valley Hood Men" narrative? On second thought, never mind. We're deep in conspiracy theory here. Neither of us will gain anything from this exchange.
