There are people. These problems are people problems, not pursuant to the tech industry as such.
Some industries try to overcome those kinds of people problems by recruiting from neglected groups, encouraging people to understand and value diversity, and punishing anti-social jerks who want to perpetuate discrimination. Other industries ignore those people problems, promote anti-social jerks, and allow the bigots to drive neglected groups out of the workforce. Which one do you think better describes the tech industry?
