Quickly looking at the article you submitted, it was the 'Not a Black Chair' that floated into the stream about a month ago. I did not flag it, and I think others may have flagged it. The comment to point ratio also contributes to front-page decay to avoid flamewars. This isn't the target audience for comfortable or uncomfortable discussions about race/gender/privilege. In my opinion, the author of that article exhibited behavior that, if you take away race and gender from the equation, would be questionable, at best, if you were an individual working at a company (the relationship with a coworker and others). Those facts clouded what the author was saying about race and gender. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11287491 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11287491
