I remember seeing a cartoon of a dog typing at a computer with the caption of 'Nobody knows you are a dog on the Internet'. Unless someone goes out of their way to point out their race, gender, ethnicity, or age; you generally have no idea who is commenting or who wrote the software.

I couldn't personally care less if my computer was created by a Japanese woman or if my software was created by a black gay man. I just want it to work properly. Same goes for nearly everything else I buy.
