There are a lot of white males in this thread who take the lack of diversity in tech so personally.
I'm not fond of this implicit prejudice in assuming your "white male" has not lead a diverse life. Its the same crap that gets the kid who grew up on the reservation a major set of disadvantages for their whole life because people only look at other people's skin and have no clue what path they have walked for their whole life. I keep thinking these skin-judgers don't know much about the human experience.
The only cure for getting more diversity in technology is to change our elementary schools so they have more diversity in teachers so children get a broader view of STEM. Everything else is ignoring the problem because people like the current female / male ratio in elementary teachers.
- issa 4y agoI don't think I am "assuming" anything. Read the thread (or internet comments on any number of similar threads).
- protomyth 4y agoIf you don't know anything about a person other than their appearance, then you are assuming a lot. Internet threads or tweets are not representative of most people's lives.
- issa 4y agoI actually don't know anything about these people's appearance aside from that they type. But I do know the content of their comments, and that is what I am referring to.
