One reason for the lack of diversity is perhaps the lack of access to computers in the homes and schools, as well as a lack of a serious connection being made between computers and Nintendo/Game Boy, etc. Funny, these homes will lack computer equipment, but almost everyone has a gaming system. Making the connection with designing the games to production gets left out in the advertisment.

If you are truly interested in bringing more diversity into your field, it would be great if you and a few of your collegues contacted local schools in areas where computers are not the ‘norm’ and make presentations for kids, get them interested early. Design a training program and present it. Just showing how fun and cool computer programming is, and showing an interest in kids, is usually a good way to get them involved.
