> There are certainly PoC immigrants, "autists", and people without formal education. Why aren't more of them in our "meritocratic" industry? There are, they’re called “Nigerians”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Americans https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_Americans > In 2018, Nigerian-Americans had a median household income of $68,658 - higher than $61,937 for all overall U.S. households. https://www.ft.com/content/ca39b445-442a-4845-a07c-0f5dae5f3460 https://www.ft.com/content/ca39b445-442a-4845-a07c-0f5dae5f3... > Similar Nigerian success is reflected in the UK, where many in a highly-educated diaspora work in financial services, IT, and the legal and medical professions. Admittedly I couldn’t find information about their representation specifically in the US tech industry, so if you do, that would be a strong indicator that the tech industry is racist (which would go against my priors and therefore change my mind), but they’re overrepresented e.g. in medicine, so ... well... for the time being, I’ll keep my prior.
