Actually, SV hackathons tend to have a lot of Asian, Mexican, Indian, female, and even some high school and grade school participation. SF hackathons seem more like the white young Caucasian guy stereotype the article complains about. I guess because it cheaper to live in the south bay so there are more immigrants starting out there and more people moving out there from the city to start families/buy houses/be closer to jobs. Moving east from Palo Alto to East Palo Alto to Mountain View to Sunnyvale to Santa Clara to San Jose is pretty much a cost of living drop each step. I know I rented cheap in East Palo Alto down there working on a startup once for quite a few months and the neighborhood was predominantly mexican culture. Got lots of fresh burritos each morning for cheap and coded a lot. I guess it's popular to just claim SV is everything wrong, though.
