techies_of_color
v9 v10 38 38 39 39 To characterize and understand the dimensions of the problem: 40 41 (a whole set of people on which the project depends who are marginalized -- two thigns to understand: 42 43 1 -- what is the connection between access and change 44 45 2 -- what do we all lose when people we count on for this change don't have access -- give examples: software is frequently expensive, like census data on line cost $125,000 46 47 We are seeing the recolonization of people of color) 48 40 49 41 50 1 -- This lack of representation is actually a lack of empowerment. Since white people control the technology at the operative and managerial level, the important contributions people of color make in combating racism, raising issues that are hidden by color, diversifying the "recipient" population and so much else simply doesn't "get" to the Internet's techies and users as it could and should.
