You're right.

People with dwarfism are disproportionally not software developers, too, but it's not trendy to care about them, so DevBootCamp doesn't care.

Transgender people are disproportionally not software developers, but it's not trendy to care about them, so DevBootCamp doesn't care.

White males born into poverty are disproportionally not software developers, but it's not trendy to care about them, so DevBootCamp doesn't care.

Hey, DevBootCamp: What makes an affluent latina more important to you than an impoverished white male? What makes an affluent white woman more important to you than an impoverished Indian with dwarfism?

Your organization is toxic. Go away.

Hey, I'm not the biggest "diversity" cheerleader in the world, but I think this criticism is over the top.

There is a significant difference between an organization's stated rules and what you can make a phone call and get just for trying. If you belong to the category of not being a white or Asian man, give it a shot.

Being a sourpuss precludes working with people and figuring out what makes sense together. It isn't a good idea.
