I didn’t claim that I had it harder either…

My mom was a well connected school teacher where I grew up and my dad a factory worker (both still living and just celebrated their 56th anniversary).

I was programming in assembly language on my Apple //e in 1986 in sixth grade.

The tech environment is one of the most egalitarian industries. I have never seen signs of systemic discrimination.

Surprisingly enough, the only reports I’ve heard about widespread discrimination are by Indians against other Indians…

I can tell you that i have faced some extremely difficult adversities. I don't talk about it online or to people outside of a few that I hold very close. I didn't have an easy upbringing or life in general. I got lucky a few times, and I've pushed myself as hard as possible the rest of the way.

I'm not surprised by the stats you shared. The most discrimination and workplace harassment / bullying I've recieved is from white people. Me and the Indians, Russians and black people I've worked with got along great -- and some of the white people of course.
