Are you that naive? Ever been to Share? The current makeup of mainframe systems programmers is 65% white, 15% Asian, 9% Hispanic & 5% African American. Factoring in most of the heavy posters are over 50, the demographics are even more white since almost all systems programmers who got into IT in the 50’s through the 70’s were almost exclusively white. Guess what? I can also tell which people are Jewish, Asian, Hispanic, Scandinavian, Irish, and most other ethnicities. That’s not nearly as easy but it’s not as difficult as you’d think. I’d bet Oujeski isn’t a black guy. My Father in Law’s name was Majewski.
Almost all IT workers back then were men too. Ever notice the absence of female posters here? A simple check from the bureau of labor statistics from the 50's, 60's, and 70's is quite the fantasy buster I need.

I have you reason to believe that your antagonists are mostly White, and no reason to believe your implicit claim not to be. For all I know, you might be a klan member lying about his skin color. Now, statistically, it's likely that most of the US posters calling you out are White, but this is an international list. ________________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> on behalf of Bill Johnson <00000047540adefe-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> Sent: Friday, September 15, 2023 12:02 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: AI will surpass human intelligence!
