You bring up good points as well, although I would disagree with one of your main assumptions: "so there's no lack of inspiration" --> Really, can you point to

  Like I said, in my university in America I see a majority of non-white students in CS. I really can't see them thinking "can I really do this? should I be doing this? why is my face different from all the other computer guys' faces?". Heck, a huge chunk of the professors are also non-white.

    Guys! It's cool. Everything is totally cool. I haven't had a boss who wasn't a white male in nearly a decade, women are still harassed at conferences, and we can only find white guys to talk at a conference about a language invented by a Japanese guy. But Camillo's class has foreigners in it, so everything is completely okay now. There's a big difference between the composition of your university class and the social makeup of a professional community. Let's talk when you're out in your career.

      anonymous was asking about a lack of inspiration. The fact that there are so many students shows that they are definitely being inspired to enter the field.
