&gt;Do you believe that because Asian folks have reasonable (maybe even over-) representation in tech, that tech is an inclusive environment for all people of color, as well as women?<p>IMO tech industry is the most meritocratic sector I&#x27;ve seen, even more the little I&#x27;ve seen from academia. Note - it&#x27;s far from being some ideal meritocracy, there&#x27;s plenty of PHB, politics and plain old corporate bullshit, but low barriers to entry, highly competitive environment, high impact work with low iteration time and the scaling model of software really helps steer incentives towards actually hiring the best person for the job.<p>I believe the reason these other groups are not represented in tech is mostly because of factors outside of tech industry (social) and tech industry shouldn&#x27;t be reaching backwards to support underrepresented groups simply because they are underrepresented. If the society sees a problem with this imbalance then they are free to fix the issue at the source instead of trying to fix a thing that works relatively well.
