There Are Only Three Black People In The Silicon Valley TV Show. by Nobody: 5:34pm On Aug 19, 2016
Silicon Valley is one of my best TV Series, I love it, I think it is very funny and educative especially for people interested in technology. But I really do feel somehow when watching a TV show wih very little or no black people. Big bang theory is also another example of an amazing tv series with a very few black people.
The only black faces I can recall in silicon valley are:
1. The guy in a tuxedo standing behind Eric and JinYang when they were refused entry into a party because they had no tickets(Had nothing to do with the main issue)
2. One of the board members of Hooli was black and he said very little
3. There was another black lady that refused Galvin's spiritual adviser to park(Parking attendant)
And that is about all the black people I noticed, Why do you think black people have a very small and insignificant appearance in techy shows like silicon valley?

Reason 1: Because Black People do not fit the stereotype popularised by the media.

Marc Hannah is one of the founders of Silicon Graphics Interface, makers of the IRIX Operating System.



Marc Hannah ( 1956-Present)

What He Invented: 3-D Graphics Technology Used in Films.

Why It’s Important: Anyone awed by the special effects in the films Jurassic Park, Terminator 2 and The Abyss should thank Chicago-native Marc Hannah. The computer scientist is one of the founders, in 1982, of the software firm Silicon Graphics (now SGI), where the special-effects genius developed 3-D graphics technology that would be used in many Hollywood movies.

So you see, the media fools us into praising 'Oyinbo' (White People) for everything.


Reason 2:

Silicon Valley had its root among a lot of "non-conformist" people. In the 1960s and 1970s a lot of followers of Sri Hans Ji Maharaj and Sri Prempal Rawat later went into the Software startups and became known as Computer Gurus.

They include the founders of Sun Microsystems, Microsoft and Apple.

Black People were very few in the midst of Meditation Masters, in the 60s and 70s.
