- Mz 9y agoI'm white. I and my two white sons found it hilarious. Your remark, on the other hand, not so much.
- cocktailpeanuts 9y agoWhere do you get the idea that HN is full of "white" people? Your sound like you see yourself as a non-racist, but you probably don't realize that you are actually being racist yourself by making these comments.
- notfromhere 9y agoGiven the stats on diversity in silicon valley, not exactly an out of touch statement.
- livingparadox 9y agoHN isn't just silicon valley folks
- dgfgfdagasdfgfa 9y agoMore than that, part of silicon valley's diversity is (iirc) an unusually high representation of asian men; an assumption of whiteness wouldn't get you far.
- vacri 9y agoSV is significantly overrepresented with east and south Asians, compared to the general US public. If you wanted to make SV match the general US demographics, they'd have to hire more white people. Just because black people specifically are underrepresented in SV doesn't mean that it's (racially) non-diverse.
