@blogdiva@mastodon.social In 1982 or so I was in my first job, at DEC, then the world's 2nd-largest computer company. I got a tour of a manufacturing plant and there was this huge room full of people operating wire-wrap machines to build backplanes.
As far as I could tell, 100% of the people were brown-skinned women of South Asian extraction.
