Look it’s also a case of anecdotal evidence. I declined many black male tech candidates because they didn’t have the level expertise I was looking for but I also came across a black woman whose expertise blew them out of the water. I know I have bias towards women in tech based on my experience. Say of the 40 I know, 35 are out of their element it seems. But then the remanning 5 know more and do their job better than any man I know.

You mean the story you just described is anecdotal, right?

And what you're describing is the end result of many different issues and trends. Not really anecdotal at all. It's part of why those charts are the way they are.

It's called the underdog effect, dawg. Appears in competitive sports all the time.
