"There's a reason that Silicon Valley is almost entirely white, male, and under 40, and it has nothing to do with technical aptitude."
Ouch....That's a very damning statement. I'm not in a position to comment on the truth of it - all I can say is that I hope you're wrong.
- gruseom 15y agoSilicon Valley is almost entirely white That's far from the case.
