I grew up relatively poor; single disabled, unemployed parent. We couldn't afford a computer, because computers are (or were until very recently) expensive things. Programming too was, until very recently, not taught outside of university. I had no help, I entered university a bit later than most as a mature student, so wasn't pushed towards it at a young age by any means, which is fairly typical for my social class, and yet affirmative action/positive discrimination affects me negatively, simply for being male. I don't see how that's fair at all.
