- asdsa5325 9y agoI have not.
- bdcravens 9y agoI have not, but I think the point they're trying to make (but don't really agree with) is that of cultural norms, or more specifically, the cultural norm of overly-assertive, insensitive nerds (most of which who are younger white males), so that it's an unwelcoming environment to outsiders.
- commandlinefan 9y agoBut most actual programmers are Indian, not young white males...
- bdcravens 9y agoProbably true, but even shifting the demographic mix (with a large % of interactions on SO still being white male) is male Indian culture and communication style inclusive towards females and other groups? I may be off-base, but my experience is that Indian males are very point-blank and strongly assertive in their communication style, so the underlying assertion about inclusiveness would still ring true I think.
