I've said this before, but I have absolutely no sympathy for people who think that there is something wrong with the fact that everyone in their workplace is not exactly the same as them(the author explicitly points out several times how she was the only black/female person in her workplace as if it was some kind of travesty). To me this only shows that they are the ones mainly causing the problem, not the imagined institutionalized racism/sexism that they rant about. A bunch of different people from different backgrounds working together and doing great things is what America is all about, and one of the things that makes it a great country. For these people the fact that they and their colleagues share a common interest in whatever they are working on(or I would hope so), is not enough, and they are too immature and entitled to get over the fact that there exist people different from them. There are people who come to this country and speak almost no english - think how they must feel - but you don't hear them complain about it. If you want to see more women/minorities in the workplace, by remaining in it you are being the change, which is a positive thing, but instead these people quit and then go whine on their blog while painting themselves as some kind of hero for quitting. If you are this much of an entitled, sniveling ingrate then I don't see how you could make any kind of positive contribution to your industry, so good riddance I say.

Ironic, considering "Diversity" is about celebrating differences, and not pointing them out as if they were a negative thing.

I'm not saying that prejudices are nonexistent, but I don't think they are as prominent as these people make them out to be.
