| And some of the comments on this thread is a master class of virtue signaling as well. All sides seem well represented here. Also, who is putting up walls? Be specific please. I too come from a low income "unprivileged" family and got my first computer in high school. And the tech industry has always been diverse. It has been the most diverse and the most meritocratic industry for a long time. It's the industry where minorities and immigrants like Jerry Yang and Sergei Brin can thrive unlike more establish industries like news, media, oil, finance, transportation, etc. Why are you painting a false image of what the tech industry is like? There are no barriers to programming. It is the most available and meritocratic and fair industries around. Also, your entire comment had no relevance to the article. You just went on a stereotypical virtue signaling rant. Also, do you really want diversity, or do you want a "diverse" group of people who all think like you? I just can't handle the hypocrisy. All over HN, you support H1-B visas and claim the tech industry's success is due to diversity provided by H1-B visas. And elsewhere, you claim the tech industry is not diverse and the problem with the tech industry is the lack of diversity. Which is it? You can't have it both ways just to suit your agenda. Be consistent. |
