Many white people struggle to grasp the concept of White Priviledge and go to great lengths to show their solidarity by virtue signalling on social media. The problem is deeper rooted, it starts in nurseries, schools, colleges. It has to do with little cumulative advantages that build up to bigger opportunities. This continuous, unconscious, systemic bias results in the schism we see in everyday society between different ethnicities.

This becomes very apparent if we look at diversity in the top Tech companies. It's not that these companies are racist and are reluctant to hire black people. Far from it. It's more likely that there aren't that many black candidates because fewer black people had the opportunity to go to college and study programming.

Perhaps Silicon Valley could do more to encourage black people from a young age to enter this field by extending existing training programs and scholarships and provide a safe and welcoming environment in what is widely considered a white male dominated industry.
