Yeah. Know your place and all of that. Trust me, I get it.

Because being an auto mechanic is a brutal physical job that destroys your body and pays a barely liveable wage. Something no one really wants to do regardless of gender or race. However, being a computer programmer is one of the best jobs on earth. We are paid like lawyers and coddled like children to write text files in our underwear. Everyone across the socioeconomic spectrum wants what we have. So why do only asians and whites get it?

To you, maybe. I’m going to surprise you, but just because you find X one of the best things in life and Y is worse than X to you – it doesn’t mean that X is universally better than Y for everyone.

Because that’s what software engineering is. Uhuh.

> Everyone across the socioeconomic spectrum wants what we have.

And you found that where? On ad websites for every generic bootcamp?

It is a brutal reality no matter how you look at it, it means there is some kind of systematic failure, and I am not talking about the companies themselves, it is societies overall.

There is less asian females doing manual labour because they can get better jobs.
