I am reminded of this comic.
Of course, that's just a joke. The trouble with people attempting sociology is that they have no idea what the rest of the world go through, but only focus on stories they want to see. For my part I never knew about people respecting what nerds learn before, "math sucks" and all that. But I didn't care. And now I care less for people who tell I need to change, or that math and CS should be taught to everyone. Because I'm certain they are not for everyone, but only for those who will learn even if you don't tell them to. Even the worst racist will find it hard to deny your merits in these fields, so any sufficiently smart kid would just disregard the politics.
