Integration does not happen unless you actually integrate, doing your "minority-only job with blackjacks and hookers" is still segregation and still wrong.
Why you chose to ignore these facts is a different topic. But from the language you use to describe Outreachy's target audience, it's somewhat clear that you do not actually want any diversity or integration to happen.

You may have checked the fact but apparently chose to ignore them afterwards. Outreachy has quite a lot of success stories of bringing more diversity to long term contributors. People start with Outreachy projects and then stay in the respective communities the projects were done for. So no, there's no segregation. Yes, there's a lot of integration and yes it clearly shows long term benefits. It is in fact a proven system.

Mean time I'm relaying the Outreachy information to my daughters and their friends because the myths and legends somehow miss passing down regular opportunities to their female grad students.

Originally posted by tpruzina View PostIt's positive racism, so what. It's not like funds attributed to it would be otherwise spent on gender-neutral programs and if it does attract new people in then it's a good thing in my book. Subsidizing progress on bringing in minorities is a prerogative of whoever is funding these programs, I'm not one to judge here.
Won't go into the whole discussion on free markets, but I mostly agree with Noam Chomsky here .

($5500+$500)/3=$2000/monthly. Junior developer $800-$1200/monthly. Senior developers salary $2000, only selection based on meritocracy and years of experience. And not sex, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity or other false criteria to trick competition.
