Maybe it's the combination of many potential social problems, and the author is writing about one specifically? I don't see anywhere it's stated that this is the biggest issue facing youth of colour.
I'm disagreeing on both ends: 1) I don't think Java and Javascript are bad languages to learn (nor even that the matter of which languages to learn is particularly important), and 2) I also think that systemic racism is a big enough concern as to completely obfuscate any effect that learning Java and Javascript (to the temporary exclusion of other languages) might have.
