My father was IBM’s first black software engineer
I was happily nodding along, until I got to:<p>"Somehow, he managed to obtain copies of the IBM entrance examination questions and answers, which he surreptitiously shared with promising young black job applicants. He coached them on passing the exam and succeeding in their interviews. Many were subsequently hired."<p>I'm sure this helped contribute to an increase in black hires, but is a stupidly short-sighted thing to do and then boast about.
