> If you've never personally witnessed quiet sexism (against women) and quiet racism (against non-white and in particular black people) in computer science, then I question where you have been.

In an overwhelmingly white European country. Out of the 900 people I went to uni with around a hundred were women and < 10 were not white.

Were you friends with many of the women and non-white students? Did they share their experiences with you?

That's not what "personally witnessed" means.

I am aware. I'm just asking a follow up question to understand your understanding of those folks in your program.
