Sue mentioned tech-centricity of Wikimedia community. I would say that it is a good enough explanation for less women and less African Americans in Wikimedian community. But, disproportion in the case of African Americans is much bigger than disproportion in the case of American women. Note, also, that not all American women inside of Wikimedia community have tech background. So, logical question is: Are there numbers which confirm that there are significantly less African Americans with tech jobs than American women?
Yes: click the link I sent.
African-Americans make up 7.1% of tech company employees nationwide; women make up 22.7%.
Thanks, Sue
