If you spend 10 seconds on Blind you'll find the most out of touch thought processes with regard to race, religion and sexuality from employees at big Silicon Valley tech companies. Very different from the general population, not forward thinking.

IDK about SV tech companies, but I don't think it's accurate to characterize the general population as "forward thinking" on those issues.

My point should have been clear that its less forward thinking than the general population

And you could extrapolate that I’m also referring to the bay area

Ah, that the companies in SV are less forward thinking than the population of, specifically, SV. That could be.

Every unmoderated forum looks roughly like Blind or worse, so you can't draw any conclusions from it except that such people exists in tech as well.
