Serious question:  Do you want to go to Africa, where there are a lot more people who look like you?  Or do you want to stay in the States, where there are (unfortunately) a number of people who are overtly racist, and a larger number who are more unconsciously assuming that it&#x27;s a white person&#x27;s world?  I can&#x27;t speak for you, but I suspect your answer is that there&#x27;s enough good in the States that it&#x27;s worth staying, problems and all.<p>Tech is like that.  There are jerks, and there are racists, and there are abusive personalities.  There are real, definite problems.  It&#x27;s still closer to a meritocracy than almost anywhere else.  It&#x27;s good enough that (to me) it&#x27;s worth going into, problems and all.  (Any individual situation may become toxic enough that you need to leave.  But overall, I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s bad enough to avoid, especially if that&#x27;s where you would like to be.)
