This will shock the average HN reader, but not every place is like SF. In fact, most of the world is radically unlike SF, and that's fine.

Well, white and European descent is quite common in Berlin and Germany. That's much of the population there and around. Still, there will be some diversity with people from many European countries, since EU members can move freely in the EU and can easily work in other members states.

Not many women in German software companies is also quite common, unfortunately.

You're getting downvoted for the throwaway, but I had the same thought. Amazing to see such a complete lack of diversity, and sad to see it being ignored by almost everyone in their responses.
