There are many groups within the Valley that support minorities whether it is think tanks or special funding meant for minority programs. The great think about Silicon Valley is that is is so close to San Francisco which is one of the most populated cities in the world and second to that it is also one of the most diverse which means that there is access to people just like you no matter what you are like. Whether you are geeky with technology, or into accounting, from Iran, or enjoy classical music there is somebody to understand you on your same brain wave.
The great thing about this area is that diversity is not only accepted it is rooted for. Companies want a diverse work force which can solve problems well and look at it from as many perspectives as possible which is only possible by hiring dynamic people from all different backgrounds. Rock on!
