The parent post is a bit over the top, but you miss the point too - it's insulting to expect minorities to listen to the stories of predominating white males succeeding despite rejection and ignore the injustices in society that can contribute. If it's hard for everyone, let's have more stories from those who 'look like' everyone. Claiming that 'most of the people who are rejected are white' as a reason to not need more minority stories ignores the relative chances - are similarly qualified white and minority developers hired at the same rate?
This is similar to the model minority myth - "Asians work hard and are successful, so why aren't you?" Well, let's see some stories - and not just the token Latino dude.
