the technology gap of minorities is not as large as the technology gap of people of different generations. What is the cause for the gap of minorities? Education? Economics? I personally haven't seen minorities at a disadvantage, not so much as old people.

little interest maybe.

They are too much into "bling bling", not into upgrading their motherboards/video cards/etc.

Jesse Jackson is holding the black man down ... and also malt liquor for the inner-city folks.
