As a black person (and a woman, ha!), I can say there is a similar double whammy for us. In addition to the competence double whammy, there's the one about being too assertive (for women)--the infamous "angry black woman."

I agree about the "angry black woman" prototype, it was leveled against Michelle Obama, too, among others.
My point was that I think the issues with women in technical workplace are somewhat different from those relating to minorities. You, of course are getting hit by both!
