@wim_v12e Ah, I forgot that in a follow up blog post, Guo describes his interview with a national radio show:

(Not as essential as the original http://pgbovine.net/tech-privilege.htm of course)

And there the interviewer asked if he was grateful for the privilege he received. Which tells me they didn’t understand the problem well. How can I be grateful that I was born with the characteristics that society associated with coders? While others *better* than me are routinely dismissed?
