> Software development has a troubling history of being an overwhelmingly straight, white, male space...

Software engineering is incredibly diverse. There are many East Asians, South Asians, Middle Easterners, and people from underprivileged backgrounds from former Soviet block countries. It also has a relatively high percentage of just unique folks.

Software engineering also has a diversity problem with respect to female, Latino, and black engineers in particular.

I'm just pointing out that "overwhelmingly white" is quite inaccurate.

I here Brazil's tech scene was able to attract a lot of latinos. Maybe a template we could apply elsewhere.

Fair point, overwhelmingly white was poorly chosen - should have left it as problem with diversity.
