It's interesting how 7.71% of respondents said they felt they were underrepresented due to being non-heterosexual. If 7.71% of Rust users are non-heterosexual wouldn't that be roughly in line with the expected number, since less than 10% of people fall into this category? It is also possible that this study is not a representative sample of Rust users, but then that also makes the rest of the results less useful as well.
- tjoff 8y agoShould they have had a perfect idea of how many others were non-heterosexual?
- GhostVII 8y agoWell that's my point, they seem to have a perception of the Rust community that is incorrect. It's not neccesarily a bad thing, just an observation.
- tjoff 8y agoAh, doesn't sound surprising to me. If the topic isn't regularly discussed I'd assume that most minorities would feel underrepresented. Also not necessarily a bad thing.
- pseudalopex 8y agoThe question asked about "technology", not the Rust community. It can be interpreted as implying that non-heterosexuals are underrepresented and simply asking if the respondent identifies as non-heterosexual. Also, people's concepts of representation often include visibility.
