> Van Rossum believes that the different attitudes of women and men in programming communities is due to wider societal problems that we need to fix from the bottom up. “I’ve always felt that feminism was right and we need to change the whole society,” he said. In the meantime, he feels a responsibility to act in the places he has influence, like in the Python community.
> He believes the key to making open-source communities more inclusive is establishing (and enforcing) codes of conduct and mentoring. Van Rossum says that he now mentors women and underrepresented minority programmers. “But white guys can forget it,” he said. “They are not the ones who need it most.” (In typical programmer speak, he calls mentoring a “completely distributed, democratic approach.”)
> Rather, he thinks it’s important that men are educated about their biases. “[There are] some guys who are super defensive when you tell about this shit, but the majority of guys just don’t know any better,” he said. “The first time I heard the term unconscious bias was maybe five years ago and it was an eye opener.” It’s changed him, and he thinks it could change others.
White guys generally are able to make their way in the world without a mentor guiding them every step of the way. It really doesn't matter if someone like Von Rossum doesn't mentor white men. Funny thing is the pet minorities he does mentor will destroy him. He's a white male himself and even as an "ally" he is still their enemy.

PROGRAMMING WENT TO SHIT AFTER IT BECAME POPULAR AND THEN POLITICAL THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN STRIVING FOR POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IN PROGRAMMING IS POLITICAL CORRECTNESS and JAVASCRIPT
Aaron Bailey
How long before he gets metoo'd for groping a chubby indian?
Samuel Morgan
If you're a white guy the only person you can rely on is yourself, don't waste your time arguing with retards or waste energy getting upset. It is better spend improving yourself.
Ethan Walker
Mentoring is less about learning than social capital, being mentored by somebody famous/influential will open doors. Why would you just give it up?
Christian Brown
The faggot who created python had to create the keyword “global” and “local” in order to counter-act the mistake that not using a keyword to declare variables means that variable scope is closed off to whatever block that variable is in. Fucking asinine shit. Fuck forbid you learned literally any language before python where global are fucking standard. It’s when you try to make shit simpler for pleebs that you have to do retarded AF workarounds.
Elijah White
that's not what I said.
Leo Sanchez
Dude is probably already in danger of being metoo’d. Ever notice how sjw beta males get vocal about sjw values right before they’re exposed??
John King
now he is awarded sex from a feminist.
Anthony Thompson
You're wrong about figuratively everything you said. Are you a PHP developer?
Andrew Johnson
This, as with all things related to Male Feminists, is just a desperate bid for pussy
Wyatt Green
Wtf I hate python now
Leo Ward
Much like the T.Rex, SJWs only can see you if you are moving. Bitch boys like him end up calling attention to themselves like an injured animal does to a predator. The typical purple haired freak wouldn't even know that Python had an inventor if he didn't virtue signal and jump in the SJW space. Much like others who have made the same mistake, he will end up paying the price as his new friends stab him in the back and the front and the side and from above and from below. He will cry and apologize which will only make the attacks worse as his attackers sense weakness. Crybullies don't go after the strong. They're too weak for that. Instead they go after those who have self identified as being even weaker than they are.
often times programming languages are used to write mathematical expressions to be performed automatically by an electronic computer.
Mason Edwards
sexism is alive and wild, and he is one of its proponents
when will we get to the point when these people realize how retarded they are? infuriating

Cooper Bailey
So, some women want to fuck other women, or some dudes want to be women. Fine. But why do they need to look like that to fulfill that goal? Just fucking retarded.
Nathan Watson
I guess he's right, though. American white males have the best education, great access to jobs and everything tech-related, but they usually lag behind minorities because they are too lazy to work and instead post in chinese imageboards or just kill themselves for not having sex.
Jose Cox
Did he just imply that he needs to mentor people who aren't white, because whites are smart enough to figure it out themselves?
Caleb Mitchell
Unironically based and redpilled. I'd only mentor cute girls as well. Seems like you are all just fucking faggots.
Tyler Powell
That's not what he meant. Though maybe someone easily offended could see that. He meant that enough whities have figured it out that they don't need anymore help, their friends will help them out.
