I think it is conventional knowledge that if you are a minority you are often forced to overcome discrimination and are being judged more harshly. I mostly second-hand experienced this because half of my family are immigrants from a country that had "low-status" when they got here.
Just to be sure: if you are young/new please don't take this as discouragement. The less it applies to you the better. And if you face discrimination then take pride in your accomplishments in spite of adversity.
Based on my experience its the opposite. If you are a female minority, large companies will pay you to attend a bootcamp and join them. There are so many great opportunities out there for people from all sorts of backgrounds
