Or, in this case, picking the whipping boy, which was white males.

As I said in another thread, it was stupid for non-whites to watch white males "get relieved of their excess privilege" - case in point: because it also resulted in the locking out of a lot of minorities from access to the tech industry. I still don't see many blacks or Hispanics in tech now, does anyone else?
