Am I correct to assume that almost every respected web designer is a white male? A quick glance at http://www.flashinthecan.com certainly confirms this.
I know that several of you will chime in and note that YOU personally are not a white male, and I know that there are certainly exceptions to this (Jemma Gura, Yugo Nakamura, Brooke Nuñez) however it looks as though to be part of the club you pretty much have to be a white boy (with disshevelled hair).
What do you think?

yeha, its payback time from the various white-power empires of the last 500 years..
...chasing a friggin unclosed TD tag up and down a page of code, or getting lost in your COLSPANs.
Payback is a bitch.

aw rats. I have a generically unkempt spiky haircut, and am at the moment wearing a blue hoody track top with stripes down the side. I also have shite wanky glasses and at the moment have Photoshop, After Effects and Flash open.
Bollocks.

I'm turkey white sans track shirt, spikey hair, or apple accessories, but as long as my work stays generic I still feel like I can fit in.

Oi vay, I think all of the white web guys with disshevelled hair are getting offended.

I should note that I myself am a white male web designer with dishevelled hair.
I'm just wondering why is this the demographic to be part of the club?

Yes, yes, I know that there ARE famous and talented non white males, but not many. Take another look at http://www.flashinthecan.com
I was told the other day by an asian female that I have an easy shot at being one of the big boys because of my light skin and penis.

Brooke Nuñez is Italian?

I'm half white. There are plenty of Hispanic and Asian designers at my school. I would say its about equal where I'm at, in Los Angeles, Californa.
It's kindda silly pointing to a site that's baised in Canada... aint nothin but white people there!

all i can say is MOLUV!

you are correct. that's why most of these "designer parties" are pretty much weinerfests.
All you gotta do when you hittin one of these spots up is ask "say, I'm looking for the Beck convention?"

the school i went to had a guy/girl ratio that heavily favored the females in the communcation design dept. i had one class in the dept where i was one of 3 guys out of 12 or so. most of the classes were like that.
