You’ve only ran across one black person in the computer field in nine years?? That’s interesting. Most of the blacks I know who have carved out the ‘American dream’ (house in the burbs, two cars, two kids, the yearly vacation, etc.) achieved that in the computer field, including myself. I’ve been in the field almost nine years myself, at two other companies before coming to my current company. The two previous companies each had several blacks on the technical teams. I must also note that both companies were in cities with prominent historically black colleges. The team I’m on now has four other blacks on it. I haven’t been to Dallas, but could it have something to do with the racial make-up of the area? I hear that it’s pretty upscale and mostly white. You’d probably have a different perception if you worked in Atlanta or the DC Metro area.
