There were no blacks - none - in my upper level Computer Science and Math classes.
I met two black programmers in my years of working in the industry.
Why don’t black people take math and programming classes? Obama’s half-brother has a PHD in physics, but he’s the exception that proves the rule.
“Why don’t black people take math and programming classes?”
I have no objective data, but my observation over the course of my life is that culturally, the black family structure is a mess and the kids suffer academically and in many other ways.
The majority of the culture celebrates lawlessness and despises such things as school work. I think it’s long term fruit from being enslaved (families torn apart, men emasculated etc.) and more recently, welfare, which took away the apparent need for a wage earning father.
There are obviously, some solid black families and some black kids who go against the tide and succeed. But there needs to be a sea change.
