Also decades but I have observed plenty of discrimination.

Might it be possible that you're not seeing the less explicit forms of discrimination? I know I certainly wasn't until people highlighted them.
It sounds like he's talking about GamerGate. Which, since they followed the old tech idea of race and gender not even being brought up in their ranks, indicates his opinion on most matters social justice.
Not in the decades I have been observing this industry through my participation in it. In my observation, these past few decades the efforts to increase female and minority employment have far outweighed the rare instances of discrimination I've seen.

If they're a "prime example", then why do I have no clue who you're talking about?
