There are environments in which interest is much less likely to develop. For instance, what if your peers had thought and repeated that learning and reading were stupid? Or what if your parents were completely apathetic about your education? Or what if one of your parents was in jail your entire life? What if you had no choice but join a gang?
There are children, and maybe you were one of them, who can persevere despite these circumstances. But I think it's important to note that the differences in interest can also be a result of 'privilege'.

We should be investigating the systems that lead to a lack of minority candidates applying to work at these companies.. Namely, systems like the entirety of the criminal justice system with discriminatory policies such as 3 strikes or the war on drugs.
