"New York Gov. Kathy Hochul apologized on Monday after she received backlash for claiming that “young Black kids” in the Bronx “don’t even know what the word ‘computer’ is.”

During a speech at the Milken Institute Global Conference in Los Angeles on Monday, Hochul boasted:

Now what we have is the money to build a phenomenal super computer that is gonna be accessible to the researchers in New York, college students, will attract more federal grants, and this is how we lay down the mark. No state has done this. In fact, I talk to a lot of other people who say, “I wish my governor had thought of that first.” I say, “No no, this is New York. We like to be first,” with all due respect to you from other states. It’s sort of our attitude. We will be the best, we will be the first, and I want others to follow because right now we have, you know, young Black kids growing up in the Bronx who don’t even know what the word “computer” is. They don’t know. They don’t know these things."
