How is this a dickish thing to say about white men. I am a white man. Having worked with 1 woman in 15 years in Oklahoma & Texas in development I worked with roughly 60/40 (men to women) developer teams in the Bay Area. Also the broad array of cultures and experiences brings different opinions to the table as well.

It wasn't intended as a slant against white men, it was more a happy dividend that I didn't realize I was missing (diversity). SF is rather diverse, but in IT competency still matters far more than gender, race, etc.

I don't doubt you're a white man, but it makes no difference.

What exactly are you, as an individual, missing in terms of diversity?

Technical opinions? What does this mean exactly?

This is the bad implication I was talking about, that a group of white males is somehow deficient relative to any group of people.

It's like having a discussion with a wall. Have a nice day :-)

You think insults aren't insults if you add a nicety on the end?

Clearly I didn't read what you wrote, otherwise I'd be agreeing with you already, right?

Or you're just spouting mindless diversity soundbite rhetoric..
