I've always found that most sites on the internet unconsciously have a white and male bias. It's not a tremendous surprise that institutionalized racism and sexism are present on the internet as it's embedded in some parts of our culture, but anonymity on the internet really throws a few logs onto the fire.

Luckily there is more awareness these days, and a lot of increasingly popular people are dedicated to combating it. I'm a big fan of FreeThoughtBlogs, it mostly focuses on atheism and social justice, but tends to have a lot of tech-related posts.
