Hi Matt, What racial progress are you referring to? Part of the rational for the existence of a group like Blacks In Tech is the need to combat the lack of progress in new media technology. It appears to me that Refresh Austin and SXSW are primarily geared towards white people and I find that offensive. Am I the person of color in Refresh Austin? I mean except for your soul-mate.
