People always say tech workers are all white guys -- it's such a bizarre delusion, because if you've ever actually seen software engineers at most companies, a majority of them are not white. Not to mention that product/project managers, designers, and QA are all intimately involved in these projects, and in my experience those departments tend to have a much higher ratio of women.
Even beside that though -- it's patently ridiculous to suggest that these devices would perform worse with an Asian man who speaks fluent English and was born in California. Or a white woman from the Bay Area. Or a white man from Massachusetts.
You kind of have a point about tech being the product of the culture in which it was produced, but the needless exaggerated references to gender and race undermine it.
