You joke, but in the past I actually considered pretending to be bisexual at one point, cuz most companies aren't hiring white and Asian males for software engineering positions. They like to go for diversity hires, even if they're utter shit programmers.
I was applying for a government loan years ago. They practically begged me to tell them I was Indian or gay. It’s pretty sad. An no, I didn’t get the loan. Someone more “diverse” than me apparently was more important.
