It's hard to read stories like this. It's so clear that the diversity issues in the tech industry are in part a signal of a much larger issue in our nation. Under represented minorities have such a tough time getting a decent education let alone one in computer science.

That said, I'm hopeful that the industry that I'm a part of can play a large role in fixing this.
