No, your the problem. Hysterical social-justice-warrior making problems where there is none. There was a study done not long ago that shows the number of people taking computer science was predominately white and male. And the fact is any company that does not have a workforce along those numbers (pinterest for example) should be considered as having suspect hiring practises.

But hey it's only bigotry against "white" "males" and it hip to be ok with that nowadays, right HN?

Why did you quote "white" and "males"? Is it because you suspect many of them to secretly be black women wearing whiteface?

Anyway, there is a reason that white males are not allowed to talk about bigotry against themselves, and it's not about some conspiratorial hipsterism to sabotage you. It's because if you are a white man born in America complaining about discrimination pretty much everyone else in the world will you see you like this:

I'm not American, I don't live in America, and I can to a degree I can understand all this retardation coming from a country with such a rich history of overt racism. But goddamn the internet != america and these international tech companies having to pander to you delicate tulips is getting old.

Hell, why not go after Samsung for hiring too many Koreans.
