Are they in that position because they are white, or are they in that position because they were born in privileged families? My country has had predominantly white, male Prime Ministers. What's even more remarkable is that every single one of them over the past 20 years went to highly exclusive private schools. The sort of private school that costs more than a good portion of adults earn, i.e $40k per annum. When you disparage an entire group based on skin colour and gender, you're being a racist and sexist. You're being highly offensive to the majority of white men who weren't born with silver spoons. If you look at the most successful tech founders you'll see a pattern of them being born into wealthy families with educated parents. 50 years ago, most wealthy and educated families were white, which is why you see so many of these founders today. For example: Mark Zuckerburg - parents were a psychiatrist and dentist. They literally hired software developers (in the 1990's) to tutor him. Bill Gates - father was a prominant laywer, mother was on executive boards. Access to computers before they were even a thing. Sergie Brin - Father was a professor, mother a NASA researcher. Private schools. Larry Page - Father had a computing professor, mother was a computing instructor. Private schools. Bezos - wealthy family (Grandfather was regional director of the US Atomic Energy Commision).
