Thanks for ignoring everything I wrote until now.

Anyway, the only thing you can conclude from the Stack Overflow percentages:

74.2% of the respondents from the 2018 Stack Overflow Survey are white

is the following: 74% of the people who took the survey identified themselves as white. That's it.

From "a lot of people who took SO survey are white" to "non whites are not interested in programming" there's a chasm.

If you conclude anything else, without data, you're either really bad at basic statistics or you're trying to use those numbers to justify a world view that suits you, like when you said this:

Maybe people that are not white, heterosexual male don't want to code that often.
