Some of the comments here are laughable - "I also had to deal with clueless south asians once so I understand how it is". Seriously?

Seriously?
- paulddraper 10y agoUh...me too. I don't know what you think is weird....some have a similar hiring experience to what Palantir did (depending on the truthfulness of allegations, of course).
- statictype 10y agosome have a similar hiring experience to what Palantir did ... which is completely irrelevant to whether Palantir is on the right side of this issue. If a police department was reported as displaying bias against blacks or muslims, would it be reasonable to respond with "I've had issues with blacks and muslims in law enforcement too"? Now consider the fact that Palantir does a lot of work for intelligence agencies...
- Chris2048 10y ago> If a police department was reported as displaying bias against blacks or muslims, would it be reasonable to respond with "I've had issues with blacks and muslims in law enforcement too"? But this has no context. What kind of bias, what kind of issues. The example wrt asians has this context.

- cup 10y agoThe general HN users idea of race, discrimination or anything outside the realms of general whiteness is pretty dire.
- Chris2048 10y agoWhat is "general whiteness"? Some kind of disqualifier?
- bitter-pill 10y agoIts amazing how many closet racists are on HN. So very sad.
