What's not so obvious is why that's a bad thing. Considering the fact that millions (possibly billions at this point) have been spent recruiting non-whites and non-males in tech, there's no lack of equality of opportunity here.
- peterashford 8y agoMonoculture doesn't foster a range of ideas. I work in games where having more women is great - we produce products that work better for more people and I find it balances out company culture
- ropeadopepope 8y agoAnd yet, you're pushing a monoculture of ideas. How ironic of you.

- ropeadopepope 8y agoHalf this post's comments breaks the site guidelines as per that rule, but I will try harder.
- dang 8y agoYes, but it's a matter of degree, and what you posted was a degree worse.
- GiorgioG 8y agoI've worked in companies where that have been predominantly white males and companies that are not - I've noticed ZERO difference in outcomes between the two. The fact of the matter is there are more white males that pursue computer science than women, minorities, etc. That doesn't make all of us professional white males raging racists/sexists. 90% of nurses are women. Why don't these social justice warriors blow up the social web with that "injustice"?
- coldacid 8y agoHell, where are the social justice warriors trying to get more women to work as plumbers, construction workers, or garbage collectors? Let's see more women working in mines, while we're at it!
