All these defenses are laughable when put in any other context. Try answering "why black people don't code" with a straight face and ignoring systematic disadvantages. I have not seen it down without exposing a bigot. I've seen the "each group has its reasons" fluff as well, but those defenders are happily living in a world where only one type of group makes good programmers. Out of a whole world of groups, only this type of person can write code. The narrative that this lecturer understands all disadvantaged groups because he's from one himself is a false narrative. Using that to build credibility for his arguments is laughable journalism. |

I think that was in there to show that he's likely not a bigot, because that seems to be the default assumption about anyone that doesn't go along with the dogma of the far left these days.
Your comment gets me wondering though, in the case of the question about "why black people don't code": Are we able to pick apart the causality of "systematic disadvantages" vs "each group has it's reasons"? I ask because the "systematic disadvantages" narrative is seductive and there is a lot of anecdotal evidence, but I'm not sure I've seen a nice data on the subject that could prove one way or the other why it really is that "black people don't code".
