Just want to thank the author of the blog post as well as the more level-headed engineers (black, white, female, male, whatever) who commented in this thread. I feel like i've been slowly losing my mind with the constant oversensitive rhetoric and white-knighting taking over every aspect of life and the workplace. Of all fields, engineering was supposed to be about merit. I would say that in the modern day and age, the vast majority of company cultures integrate employees just fine and don't give a damn about the colour of your skin or your sexual orientation. And you know what? I think that's the way it should be. Enough with the hand holding and mollycoddling. It only serves to demean the efforts and accomplishments of those who don't need or want it.
