Really? Jobs heavy in science and math have less blacks and this is due to RACISM? Barking up the wrong tree here. Or maybe not. Urban classrooms are more about love of tribe and diversity than science and math.

I’ve done a fair amount of professional coding. I’ve never seen code where you could tell the race or gender of the coder - it either works or it doesn’t.

It just takes a dumptruck load of hard work.

in software and mathematics, a lack of understanding is painfully obvious to experienced devs

it takes many thousands of hours to become mid level (ie: good enough to charge)

it has absolutely nothing to do with race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or any of that crap. it’s personal. it boils down to whether or not you have the patience and discipline

I started writing software when I was 11. through high school I wasn’t doing drugs or hanging around wasting time while trying to look ‘cool’.

few have the drive to advance in the field

If the triggering statement of a BEFORE statement trigger is an UPDATE or DELETE statement that conflicts with an UPDATE statement that is running, then the database does a transparent ROLLBACK to SAVEPOINT and restarts the triggering statement. The database can do this many times before the triggering statement completes successfully. Each time the database restarts the triggering statement, the trigger fires. The ROLLBACK to SAVEPOINT does not undo changes to package variables that the trigger references. To detect this situation, include a counter variable in the package.

The doors haven’t been closed to blacks. They’ve been closed to people like me who barely know how to turn a computer on.

“Where Are The Black Internet Workers?”

Step 1 - pull up your pants
Step 2 - learn how to talk
Step 3 - learn math
Step 4 - learn how to program
Step 5 - show up to work on time and put in long hours

"“I would compliment Google for releasing the information, but I would also express a great deal of disappointment that the numbers are certainly not where they should be ..."

The numbers are exactly where they should be. They reflect reality.

The people are not where they should be to affect the numbers. When your people are ready for the jobs, they will reflect in the numbers - and it's not Google's job (or ours) to make them ready. That's up to them.

Next, the race baiters will be pushing Affirmative Action for rocket science. Oh, wait, NASA’s doing Muslim outreach now.

The problem is you cannot apply AA to the Internet because it has to WORK after you've done tech stuff on things. The average entitlement black can use the technology, but does not understand it. They're like the native cargo cults of the Pacific Islands that still are trying to attract all those airplanes and ships that brought mountains of stuff to their islands in World War 2.

Bell shaped curves are reality. Blacks and Hispanics simply do not have the same aptitude for technology as Whites and Asian.

Politically correct desires do not change reality.

Maybe they are too lazy to pursue careers in those fields.

They are under represented for sure but, overly represented in criminal activities.

maybe it’s a culture thing.

In engineering and programming jobs you can't hide the affirmative action folks. The good employees are hard to replace and won't put up with slackers. Badly designed bridges and badly written computer code have bad consequences.

This is not like road construction where you can give certain people a flag to direct traffic and thereby meet your quotas.

Here’s the deal. The computer does not care about your color, sex, height or weight. It’s relentlessly logical. You can code systems that work or you can’t. Unlike in politics, you can’t get your way with a computer by whining or guilt tripping. A computer is a pure color-blind judge of a person’s ability.

Oh here we go again....

The race-hustlers are never at rest until every Whitey and Jew and Asian is subjugated.

But the bad news is that the door to jobs in the burgeoning sector has been firmly shut to Blacks and Latinos,

Horsefeathers. The number of "Blacks and Latinos" qualified to knock on that door is miniscule, that's all. I'm a software developer who is regularly involved in hiring. It's brutally hard to find qualified candidates at all, in any color or ethnicity. It's not like we would turn someone away for a dumb reason like race, even if we could get away with it legally.

How many great technical minds are going to come from a culture that only uses math in drug deals and determining who has the biggest wheels on their car?

Excuse me? The only one cutting themselves off from these jobs are those who see getting a good education as acting white.

I don’t understand this either. I thought they taught computer skills in prison.
