Can Codecademy Teach Poor Black & Brown Kids to Code? (readwriteweb.com)

Exciting direction, although I find the title to be a bit racist by implying that poor kids are all Black or Brown. It also seems to imply that Black and Brown kids may be less capable of learning. Maybe I'm making something out of nothing, although Gengrich just caught hell for making similar implications. Thoughts?
