What nonsense, the article says the complete opposite of that. All of the article deals with examples of why other writing systems (misnamed "languages") have specific properties that make it hard to deal with on computers. Latin and Cyrillic alphabets just so happen to be easier because of their regular properties, not because they were the first to be implemented. Lucky us.
Summarizing the article as being rooted in politically incorrectness is disingenious. Or do you really want to suggest the Chinese would have had an easy time implementing their writing system on computers if only they had invented them first?
