You're going to see a lot of it.  People getting ahead unfairly because of the category into which they were born: male or white or straight or rich. I'm in a few of those categories myself, which is why I make it a point to reach out and help those who aren't, those who might not necessarily be seen if I didn't make the effort. We need to shake this field up, you know? We need more people with different points of view and experiences and thought processes so we can keep innovating and moving ahead. Sandhya Menon
About This Quote

This quote is about how people are treated unfairly because of their race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion. People are being discriminated against for being different, but the way they are discriminated against is unfair because everyone deserves to have their own space and express their own ideas. People need to know that they don't have to fit into one category in order to be accepted.
