> when they get into an industry like software programming that's full of racism and sexism Is it like that in the US? Really? Especially when compared to other professions. I do not know, but I have serious doubts. Please enlighten me.

It depends who you ask. From my vantage point, sexism is thankfully and rightfully getting increasing attention in recent years in the software/tech sector, but still persists widely. Unfortunately America is still full of racism, including in software development, and so far tech has done very little whatsoever to heed the problem. I can't answer your last question, I don't know if tech is any more bigoted than other professions, my career has been exclusively in tech.

In my experience, yes.
