I have some thoughts on 2 and 3. 2. I wholly support helping underrepresented minorities in tech because I believe in fairness. But anytime gender or race is involved, then the topic is political by definition. I follow the White House on twitter and a ton of their tweets are about equal pay. Both Romney and McCain addressed this issue during their campaigns and were criticized for their responses. Yes, it is a political tool. But just because politicians are involved does not make it a gimmick. 3. I agree that the ideal scenario is for tech to be one of the career choices. The problem is people are pushed away from certain fields. Coming to the US to work on a H1B is made easier because many Indians and Chinese have done it before us. Having people who look like me achieve something is a great self confidence boost and motivator. Unfortunately, other minorities groups do not have this benefit. Perhaps Neil deGrasse Tyson can explain it better than me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inz1sdhsMCU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inz1sdhsMCU
