Yes. So am I and so is most of the audience here.

We have tons of opportunities people in other countries don't. But we're talking about Americans protesting against Americans and that's why it doesn't make much sense.

At a more practical level, not everyone has access to a good education, or grew up in a community that encourages education. I know I'll get a bunch of responses like "What access!? Just go on codecademy and teach yourself Javascript!" But good luck teaching web development to a 21 year old who's never been taught how to read properly.
