That table gives “or” statistics. You can get the percent males (80%) and the percent whites (55%) but you can’t get the percentage of white males.

In fact given that 45% are not white, if only 6% of software developers are white women that would put white men in the minority.

Great point! In addition, race and ethnicity are different dimensions, so with 6% of developers as Hispanic/Latino, if you're interested in the white non-Hispanic population, that's probably around 52% given about half of Hispanics identify as white.

That is the US only though

Interesting, it says 36% of software developers are Asian but only 9% of web developers.
