That was fun. 40 people, only one Caucasian. It's like an edgy version of [2].

At first I thought he was the Sikh who does the Vulcan greeting, but then I noticed the one white guy and thought "No, that's him!".

Well, that is an event in Mumbai. You'd find a lot of Germans at an event in Berlin, and a lot of Americans at an event in Austin.

Yeah, but if the American event had had only one woman and three dark-skinned people there would be the inevitable discussion on "tech's diversity problem" branching off into various allegations of sexism and racism. That's what I'm taking a pot-shot at.

I'm glad that in Mumbai, people who enjoy building cool things can do so without worrying about the average skin shade or visible secondary sexual characteristics.

Er, yeah, because America is a lot more diverse than Mumbai is. Diversity means diversity, not "fewer white people".
