It's disappointing to see a potentially valuable educational program frame its activities in terms of closing a diversity gap rather than simply helping people. Can you imagine a similar academy dedicated to closing the gap between whites and people of color? The latter are overrepresented in tech, and yet I know of no one concerned with that gap. (Yes, I said that people of color are overrepresented in tech. The only way to avoid this conclusion is to ignore people with recent ancestors from Asia.)
