You can make your own charity and support whoever you want. Why does the National Rifle Association only support gun issues? Why not preserving historical buildings? Well, because there are other organizations to preserve historical buildings.
Nobody said or implied that, just as an organization hoping to cure polio doesn't think that's the only illness worth curing.
that's a bad example, because the organization that cured polio moved on to 'other things' and is now one of the 'go to' examples of charity drift and nonprofit mismanagement.
That's interesting, and I didn't know it before (reference?), so thank you! But my point was to use an apolitical example to illustrate the flaw in logic. Whether or not the same organization was mismanaged is irrelevant to that point. In fact, that they "moved on" to other things is evidence to my point that you cannot infer a polio-cure organization actively excludes other illnesses in a general "what are important problems to solve" sense.
spend the 20 bucks on sending that question to Ben himself, perhaps you'll learn something
Perhaps because black girls are underrepresented among the population of kids learning to code?
Why does this very simple and clear explanation of the group's mission downvoted to negative levels? Is anti-racism that out of vogue on this site?
Edit: looks like it bounced back up, but still, damn.
