I can't speak for "Mr Egalitarian", as you put it, but I can confidently say yes to all of those things (or more precisely, I wouldn't assume any of those things any less or more than if I saw an Asian man). Knowing the probability of a tech person being a certain race or gender doesn't mean one is forced to apply that knowledge, particularly when one is aware of the human cost of that kind of stereotyping/pidgeonholing. It sounds like you're just projecting a lot of racial and/or gender issues that you have onto the author of the parent comment.

lol, okay. whatever u say, bro.
I'm glad we're in agreement. It's all too rare to find people who are so easily convinced even when they're very wrong; kudos.
