Holy shit, why not just blow the troll whistle?
Do gingers qualify as under-represented? Cause plumbing makes me tired, and I think the skillset might carry over?

“…and people from many other groups traditionally underrepresented in programming.” This statement is racist, sexist, and many other ists. No one represents their group in programming. They are each individuals who chose and was able to enter programming. They do not represent any one else in their respective groups nor does everyone in their respective groups even know they are programming.
