I'm completely sick of hearing these comments on HN. As someone who also grew up white and poor, yet made it into the tech field, there's no way I could deny that people of color experience life differently than I do. We don't live in a post-racial society, white people do get treated differently in a variety of ways, and just because a handful of minorities have made it in tech doesn't mean they speak for the potential success of all others.
