That&#x27;s actually a really interesting angle.<p>I didn&#x27;t start programming when I was 10 because there are Jews in tech. I never  associated my race or ethnicity with any sort of permission to do anything. The thought never crossed my mind. I didn&#x27;t grow up in a racialized community even though, yes, I was one of few Jews in the town I grew up in.<p>I appreciate this question because it gives further evidence that identity politics is detrimental to minorities and society at large.
