Yeah, agreed, it was not clear why calling out White was useful in the title.

"Youth" and "maleness" were relevant. Younger people tend to be more "desperate" and willing to trade time and health to "make it" in their career of choice. They are also less likely to have young children. Males tend to be more passionate about the gaming industry.

But what is it about White people that makes them more likely to go into the gaming industry? Nothing, right? So it's not relevant to call it out in the title.



FWIW my friends who have worked in the games industry worked with a lot of chinese and indian co-workers.


Also not a surprise ... again, reflecting the demographic of the programming / IT worker.
