Discrimination is wrong no matter who is doing the discriminating.

Any business oriented group that limits their membership to a certain ethnic, sex, religion or other group is by definition discriminatory. If someone wanted to start a Whites in Technology group they would be attacked from all angles. Why does anyone think it is OK to discriminate against whites, men, Christians, et cetera?

There is never an acceptable time to discriminate.

Each "group" of people, men and women, different races, different age groups, when brought together they are stronger than each individual group can be. Our differences are our strengths when used correctly. Dividing us into separate groups and denying involvement from those outside of that group weakens all of us.
Let's stop attacking each other and start working together to make everyone feel welcome.

In other news today a High School in Georgia has eliminated having 2 separate proms to eliminate the discriminatory practice of segregation.
It seems like a giant step backwards if IT or any other industry makes moves to promote segregation.
