The Jews were also targeted. It didn't stop them.

I don't see how what happened to my granddaddy, for good or for ill, has any bearing on my ability to practice, practice, practice, get good, and make it. As of 2015-16, NBA was 81.7% black.

Software is no different. The best tools are free. Internet is near-ubiquitous. A serviceable machine can be had for lawn-mowing money. There is no excuse.
