I assume notifyneal is a brand new user, not located in SV??? You sound a little uniformed and here's why:
The beautiful thing about the internet world is that you're not judged on your face/race/religion. You're judged according to what you can produce???
A better more reliable approach to the "data" your gathering would be to find out what percentage of Software engineering students are black/white/asian/hispanic and find out if there is a substantial deviation represented in the larger community.
- notifyneal 15y agoand i know you're a user who created his account 96 days ago; hence you're a genius because you're a three month user of a platform somebody else built. you've really made something of yourself, and i congratulate you. let your tombstone read, "here lies gamechangr the person with an awesome ycombinator account!" it's a question based on stats I found on the internet. answer it, or get a life... period.
- gamechangr 15y agoSure notify: You're right. I don't consider myself an expert on HN at all. I was truly trying to be helpful, as I could tell you were wandering into an ongoing conversation that you didn't know existed. I have seen similar topics about SV (sometimes it's there are too many people from India, not enough women, age discrimination against 50 year olds, Europeans not happy with immigration). I actually DID answer it, so Let me give it another try: No. Silicon Valley is not racist. Not at all. They would hire an eskimo if he could produce something promising. Have you had a negative experience in SV that you would like to share?
