As a white man, and a software developer, I have never EVER found any prejudicial advantage in being white. Not once. In fact, I have felt distinctly disadvantaged when competing against Asians and Indians. Asians of any variety, south or east, very frequently experience preferential treatment over whites in technical fields. That's no exaggeration, based on my personal experience. Mind you, I don't begrudge anyone for it, but it's certainly a reality I'm tuned into.
