according to this page, http://www.math.buffalo.edu/mad/computer-science/cs-peeps.html
only .25% of computer programmers are black. That might be part of the reason.
Our educators need to explain why there aren’t many black and hispanic kids graduating with tech skills...
Why?
The tech marketplace is extremely unforgiving.
Products that don’t work are quickly abandoned, and the companies that produce said products get a bad name equally as quickly and are shunned.
As such, most tech companies require employees that can actually do something, which leaves out a lot of the sexual/racial grievance and transgendered Aleutian folk dance majors.
What kind of vile racists insist on pointing out that certain groups haven’t managed to keep up. So hateful. And racist. Did I mention racist?
how many of the twitter employees are homosexuals ? the answer may surprise even governor cuomo
I’m not for all the hand-wringing about the far greater numbers of men than women in the tech world, but to chalk it up to women not having the aptitude for it is stupid and insulting. But do they nearly as often have an interest in it? No.
Meanwhile, where there is substantial evidence that aptitude is involved, the differing numbers by race, this writer manages to miss again—bypassing aptitude and explaining it away by quality of schools. (Though yes, I expect there is some of that involved.)
On his larger point, I do believe he is correct.
