If Black Girls Code is not actually helping the black girls, then it's not helping. "You didn't help everybody" is not a valid criticism of an initiative to help some people. If you have some other people you want helped, then help them yourself rather than shooting down other people's altruism.

Saying: "Hey, wait a minute, wouldn't this time and energy be better spent helping all disadvantaged people instead of one small group to the exclusion of others?" ..is a criticism, not a "shooting down". Being altruistic does not grant you a blanket exception from criticism.

  Helping one person is not doing a wrong thing. If you want someone else helped, you help them.

    Who said it was a wrong thing? It's fundamentally good, but i'd argue wrongheaded.
