National Women of Color Technology Awards Sorry, but this is absolutely rediculous...and, IMHO, un-American.
If these women, or any other, achieve technological innovation or excellence that benifits the nation, then by all means, honor them nationally...their skin color, race, haricolor, eye color, the size of their thighs, etc. ad nauseum not-with-standing.
By doing this, the foolish, mushy, liberal minds that came up with it are perpetuating the thought and myth that woman of color MUST be classed apart because they are somehow unable to compete when grouped with everyone else. They are not only disciminating against woman who are not "of color", they are discriminating against and demeaning the very people who get such awards.
Either their ideological blindness and emotion prevents them from seeing this...or, more likely, they are doing it with a will.

Twelve Northrop Grumman Employees Receive National Women of Color Technology AwardsMy question is, why does Northrop Grumman employ so many women whose specialty is Color Technology?
To: Abathar
And yet the other women who happen to be white and have accomplished just as much are given a buy one get one free coupon at Hardees...Naaaah... That would be rubbing it in. I'm sure that they honored them by doing nothing for them.

2007 National Women of Color Technology Awards
One can only hope that women of color will someday be as capable as everyone else so the existance of a "special" award to recognize their achievement at an other level than that of their peers will be deemed both irrelevant and insulting.

Ah yes - The vaunted techno-twofers!
I have no gripes about women or minorities in the high-tech fields - provided they compete with white guys like me on the basis of their talent, and not on their gender/skin color.
If they are better than me - I’d best catch the heck up.
If they are not better, they should be doing the catch-up work.

How intolerant of you. /s
Most large companies have quotas for anyone non-white and non-male. HR will go to hiring managers and tell them to focus on ‘minority’ candidates. Being a white male does not look good on the resume.
To: Brilliant
Now if someone could please tell me what skin pigmentation level or genital configuration has to do with technological innovation?

Naw, there’s awards for women engineers as well, in order to make sure they don’t think they can compete with men in the field.

Congratulate the Ladies accomplishments; there's no reason to be miserly; there are plenty of awards available. Recognize the “Women of Color” moniker as secondary for each individually but important in other ways. It is an Illustration that “Women of Color” (and anyone of ambition and ability regardless of race or sex) can and do succeed in the United States of America.

I’m always tempted to ask these folks who are so enamored with using minorities as props to showcase their own conceited sense of enlightenment what percent of their technology was the result of the efforts of the most despicable group of individuals, i.e. white men.
