#2Yes, help fund these people on the basis on what gender they have or if they have said nice things about other people with another gender or sexuality.
Because _that's_ equality people!
--- Edit: Downvoted immiedietly of course. Is it just me that thinks it's weird to have a community where we activly encourage to treat people special just because of their gender/sexuality/political thoughts.
It's a bit like "fund me, I vote on Obama" or like the more hilarious "fund me because I want to get stinking rich". Each one of those tells me exactly the same on the work that person is doing.
Jon Lajoie has a "kickstarter" for getting rich: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSR3h1wUoS8

I completely agree with this. IMO this is what constitutes as discrimination since it's favoring some particular group of people.

There are good arguments pro and against positive discrimination; but instead of making your point in a way that is conducive to debate, you went with mockery and sarcasm. I didn't downvote you, but I won't upvote you either, and it has nothing to do with your opinion, but how you decided to express it.

I'm confused, why do you refer to minority developers as people who "have said nice things about other people with another gender or sexuality"?

An analogy: if you oppose violence, is it hypocrisy to support self-defense?

#7This is especially concerning considering how poor of job public schools are doing for boys already. There's an absolutely massive gender gap in college enrollments (~59% female to 41% male) and yet more and more organizations are making "scholarships" of this sort. It's already ethically troubling to reward people based on their anatomy, but doing so in high school to the detriment of an already severely marginalized group is reprehensible.
For boys coming from the poorer half of family backgrounds, a non-traditional path in tech is often their best or even only credible shot at a middle-class life.

Because there were some applicants that didn't look like they were in a minority group.

Another analogy: if you oppose violence, is it hypocrisy to only teach self-defense to people born with blue eyes?

So you're accusing them of only helping some minorities, not all? On what basis?
