Are you capable of cogent thought? How is this racist or sexist? If you had taken the time to investigate you would have seen that both men and women along with people from different ethnicities support this program.

Was it racist or sexist when Andrew Carnegie took it upon himself to personally fund the Tuskegee Institute of Technology in the early part of the 20th century to address the same problem?

Now do yourself a favor and put some thought into your comments before you decide to speak again.

If you happen to be a nerdy kid in a school of jocks and happen to form a club for nerds to address the issue of isolation and lack of "nerdiness" in said school - is that reverse discrimination against jocks?

The story was posted to highlight the fact that the founder did what every entrepreneur (not "wantrepreneur") does - identify a pressing problem and solve it.

If you have a way of addressing the fact that there are few women of color in the tech space, please post your link.

We would all like to see it.
