That's a shame, because I address that idea in, literally, the next line.

That's a shame, because I address that idea in, literally, the next line.
- meric 14y agoActually, no it doesn't. There are plenty of non-white people in the tech industry and your article makes it sound otherwise.
- cliffseal 14y agoI had no intention of inferring that, as I often make that point myself. The sentence you first referred to stated: "But, all that aside, we’re still in the middle of a long, long discussion in our industry about attracting people who aren’t white males (which I am)." ...which is an observation of a discussion, not a statement about demographics, and that discussion is happening whether it's actually relevant or not.
- meric 14y agoI don't see any discussion about attracting people who aren't white people when > 50% of people in my office aren't white. Citation would be good.
- cliffseal 14y agoWe're devolving here. Note that my post was specifically regarding GoDaddy fostering sexism (intentionally or not), but that many of the discussions _also_ involve being diverse in other areas. For instance, the very first link in my article is to one called "The Problem with a Slate of White, Male Speakers". So, please, find that discussion elsewhere as it's happening—but, I had nothing to say on ethnicity other than pointing out my own for clarity's sake and stating that it shouldn't matter.
