What expectations are people setting for their children? My parents want us to be doctors, pharmacists, chemists etc.
They constantly put science books in our hands and instilled the importance of understanding mathematics and the scientific method.
The mathematical part of my brain died after trying to grasp advanced functions so now I'm in law school - however my siblings are heavily involved in the sciences and one is pursuing a masters in neuroscience.
What were you told to be as children? Parents have to instill values and REALISTIC expectations.

Let's be honest, if bias is possible in technology, white people will start injecting theirs into it.

Black people use science since Africa. However, some black people are skeptics, for historical reasons, when it comes to euro-centric science.
Science is nothing but knowledge, whatever the type of knowledge we're talking about. Science did not start with Descartes or rationalism.
However, you're right when you talk about the lack of interest in hard sciences. I think this aspect has more to do with American culture than AA. Just compare Nigerians with AA. The firsts seem to be deep in hard science compared to AA. The same thing can be said about white Americans. You also find a disinterest for hard science among them: they rather do business or law. That's why the percentage of foreign students in hard science in America keeps increasing.
But maybe there is also a problem specific to AA but I don't see it.
