[curioushacking]

I happen to be a white male from the US and during my PhD I was my Advisor's only native English speaker. Also, at most of my jobs, I've been either the only or one of two native English speakers.

While I don't have the numbers, it would not surprise me that for at least CS/Software and likely other many other professions white male is by no means the run-of-the-mill applicant.
