As a generalization i would say basketball is more about nature than nurture, and white people are at a disadvantage.
I.T. is about nuture, not nature, so a stereotypical women should be able to "compete" with a sterotypical male.

I am sorry but you are sounding more and more like a really bad sexist, but in a positively feminist way - you know - the way that is politically correct.
Women are by large the biggest perpetrators of child abuse. In east as well as west. To say 'nurture' is a feminine forte is exactly what the feminists fought before it became a Hillary Clinton issue.
