In a perfect country where there was wasn't 100 years of slavery, if women had the right to vote from the start, equal pay, etc. sure, you would scratch your head at showcasing minorities. But now our country has "original sin". Countering the damage that has been done by the generational, institutional holding back of minorities takes great effort. There are far too many people who think there are no women who code, now add minorities to the mix. So yes, right now we have to highlight such achievements. Someday it won't be necessary.
