Why are you upset at that one word
if I am identifying the people that were mostly involved with the generation of that tech, because the truth is they were mostly white male geeks.
Should I also not mention they were mostly male?
Am I suggesting women like to communicate through menstruation?
or would that be a ludicrous overreaction?
Of course there were women, and black people, and non-geeks working in the field but the overwhelming majority of the people involved in making the tech Byrne talked in the link about were white males with a larger than average score on the autistic spectrum, or geeks. As such they would have a greater influence on the direction the tech headed in, which is the topic we are talking about.
To say that is not racist or sexist

I'm still interested in hearing what manner of communication you think black people prefer?
If you claim that white people have created a communication manner that they prefer, then you must have some notion of how this differs for black people that you'd like to share with us. Otherwise it's somewhat pointless and needlessly divisive to mention race, don't you think?
