Why is tech writing so white? http://jamellebouie.net/blog/2013/2/3/and-read-all-over …

@Jason So, if there aren’t many minorities in tech trade writing, it’s because they aren’t trying hard enough?

When I came in the game I made my own lane @jbouie -- I didn't wait for a break, I broke the rules. You're underestimating the hustle.

@Jason …for why blacks and Latinos are so underrepresented. It’s either something with the rules of the game, or they aren’t good enough. - View other replies

@jbouie and that sums up your problem right there. You think it can only be the system. You discount the resolve of the individual. - View other replies

@Jason When you say, "You made your own lane" - Did you just finish college, before it happened? If so, who paid for you to go to college? -
@funkzillaBOT i paid for my own college working as a waiter and fixing printers... went to night school. - View other replies

@Jason Congratulations on THAT small point. But so many other people have done the exact same thing? It doesn't make YOU superior to them. -
@funkzillaBOT I don't consider myself superior to anyone. In fact into piece I say everyone in America started on 2nd or 3rd base - View other replies

@Jason Really…there are a lot of dirt poor Americans who will tell you differently.

@Jason You’re not actually listening to what I’m saying. -
@Jason Is talent unequally distributed? Because if you agree that it isn’t, then there has to be some explanation... -
@Jason Are minority writers just not daring enough? Do they not take enough risks? -

@Jason Versus......being born in a upper middle class family WITH MONEY. OK! So, stop insulting everyone intelligent with your non-sense. -
@funkzillaBOT i wasn't born upper middle class

@jengallardo@jbouie I can tell you the tech industry & tech media space are both largely post-race. Pure meritocracy... Page views rule. - View other replies

@Jason "Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone just remember that all people in the world haven't had all the advantages that you've had" -
@Thaumatology yep, we had sooooooo much! -
@Jason Well, I agree on your position in this debate, but I think the bootstrap test can be unfair. "Poor ppl just don't want it enough"
