Good point.

You missed the point.It is not about firing me.It is about say what you mean and mean what you say.Various start-ups say they want diversity but the reality is they are just rhetoric. Just talk.They say one thing and do another.I have seen a situation where someone whose name sounds like minority was not called for an interview as a software engineer even though,he has all the other requirements. So,it is a systemic alienation as far as i am concerned.

No.I am not a racist.I am a white man who likes to see diverse groups anywhere i find myself.I live in a mixed and diverse community.I went to a diverse University.You can learn a lot when you are inclusive than exclusive.The tech community is all white males demography.If you have spent some time with other races,you will appreciate the richness of seeing things from different point of view.

Let me start.Where i work,it is 95% white males.2 Asian males, 1 white woman.No black(male or female).No Hispanic(male or female). Honestly,i don't find the environment thrilling at all.
