This part of survey is really weird and full of American racist bigotry. What does "Person of color" mean considering people all around the globe? In Africa or India whites are super-minorities so should they vote as "persons of color"?

Yes, minority is geographical, yet somehow it's come to mean not white male, a western view point. Not sure how female keeps getting classified as minority.

It just means underrepresented in the computing technology community.

As national/racial/other "minorities" issues as well as their common understandings are very different around the World, I would like to avoid any questions following any paradigm, if we're building truly globalized community, not a racist one following American views on American problems.
