      it doesn’t to me.

      the sheer number of american born spanish speakers alone went past the critical level necessary for the type of full representation that other industries experience decades go, but software engineering is somehow stubbornly not budging so they’re going to IT.

      i think that the closest thing there is to representation in software engineering is the over representation of foreign born spanish speakers; but they lack the experience of growing up as a minority in this country and that makes them predisposed to dismiss the difficulties we experience in life as well as trying to get a foothold into this industry like their colleagues do.
