I've been in tech for 10 years now, and the teams I have been on were/are pretty diverse. There's not really a majority demographic, aside from tech nerd. In the team I'm on right now, it is pretty much a rainbow of backgrounds. Folks from Columbia, Mexico, India, Pakistan, Singapore, Norway, Houston, etc etc.
