Historically, there have obviously been opportunity gaps across many different professions and disciplines. The tech industry, like others, has a significant underrepresentation regarding people of color. Black people make up 7% of the tech industry while making up 13% of the U.S population. Latinx people are even more underrepresented making up 8% of the tech industry while having an 18% total U.S population. Why is this the case? What is being done to close the gap? What can we do?  Hosted by Malik Seelal, Steve Kramer and Sydney Pinn. Follow us @discriminology_podcast on Instagram, @discriminology3 on Facebook and Twitter.
