women, get into IT... or else

I think the `black people' thing may be a US thing rather than a FOSS
thing (given the country's sad history of racism this is less than
surprising). I can say that in the UK I've worked with, hm... this is of
that subset where I know the nationality, they're recent immigrants, and
there were more than five of them over my career: Pakistanis,
Bangladeshis, Indians, black South Africans, black Zimbabweans, Egyptians,
Iraqis, two poor sods who left Sierra Leone when it went to hell... I
can't really see any shortage here. (Most of them were way above the
average competence level, probably *because* they were first-generation
immigrants.)

And I haven't been working anywhere particularly radical. I suppose the
City of London is the UK's largest melting pot, though...
