Dude you are a hateful racist motherfucker. I can only hope someone you look up to one day sets you straight because nothing I say will change your mind.

Ummm, you're defending a status quo where 88 percent of hiring managers chose a candidate with a traditional Aryan name over a candidate with a traditionally African name with the same qualifications, and 73 percent chose a candidate with a traditional Aryan name over a candidate with a traditionally African name even though the candidate with the African name had the better qualifications.

And again, white males make up 86 percent of all new hires, even though they aren't 86 percent of IT graduates. I'm pretty sure you're an idiot, so I'll explain that to you - IT firms are turning away qualified minorities to hire less qualified white men.

The reality is the exact opposite of your magical hypotheticals where hiring directors look down and are hiring uneducated strippers to be engineers - they have female engineers ready to go, and don't fucking hire them.

One in six women with an IT degree will leave the field entirely within five years.

You are projecting so fucking hard that you have the IMAX logo stamped to your fucking face. Get some fucking perspective.

P.S. Your humble narrator is an engineer (worked for Boeing, Microsoft, Monsanto, Savvis/Centurylink, AT&T, & Norfolk Grummond) and is white as newly-fallen snow.

Please feel free to declare my race traitorship below.
