Would you feel differently if all young Jewish boys didn't know they could go into a tech field because there were no Jews or men in tech?

- splintercell 11y agoNo offense but that's a stupid question. There are no Indian NFL players, do Indians think it's because they CAN'T get into NFL or do they think that Indians just don't like to play sports? I dare you to ask any Indian-American you know this question.
- hnamazon123 11y agoThat's actually a really interesting angle. I didn't start programming when I was 10 because there are Jews in tech. I never associated my race or ethnicity with any sort of permission to do anything. The thought never crossed my mind. I didn't grow up in a racialized community even though, yes, I was one of few Jews in the town I grew up in. I appreciate this question because it gives further evidence that identity politics is detrimental to minorities and society at large.
