| Well... Not really. To be COMPLETELY fair, we would need to concede that in this particular demographic... That is... poor, black children... NO ONE has a real opportunity to code, male or female. So I think a PoorPeopleCode would have made more sense here. Having mentioned that, I believe firmly in the principle of people being able to contribute charitably to whatever cause they please. It's just that, quite naturally, there will develop in any culture... well ... let's call them 'preferences'. In India, the government just started an investigation of private schools which forced Dalits to wear different uniforms, stand in the back of classrooms etc. In Indonesia... it's not good to be a Chinese Christian. And... in the US ... I'm not letting anyone in on any secrets when I tell you that you don't want to be a black boy in our school system for instance. These 'preferences' usually manifest themselves in charitable giving and... VOILA. This doesn't make the charity 'bad', just puts it in line with most of the other charitable giving in the US. Not so much 'bad', as just... 'unexceptional'. Sorry to be so longwinded. Was just trying to be fair to both sides. |
