Most geeks I know were the BOTTOM of the social class in school and in society, partially because they started programming at 8 or before. Like me they were borderline aspies who were more interested in things than people. The type of person that gets completely obsessed with computers and gaming at a young age tends to be a dorky white guy (but not always). It's just the cards falling where they fall and has nothing do with sexism, racism, or bias. From my life observations, if there is a social bias in society, especially at school age, it is AGAINST kids who program at 8. That entire post reeks of victimhood. The comments concern me even more, with the constant haranguing about racism, sexism, bias, etc. The entire premise of the piece seems elitist, snooty, and spiteful. There aren't too many white guys in CS and there aren't too many black guys in the NBA and there aren't too many female kindergarten teachers. It doesn't need fixing. Knock it off with the social engineering and let us be who we are, without being lumped in with another -ism that must be corrected by a central planner.
