I don't know. I kinda agree, but if HN will indulge writing on bias from every other demographic, why object to this one? You don't hear much about women in tech without the corollary that the industry is backboned by misogyny and men are sexist womanizers. I think there is a morsel of insight in here: "comfort" is a weasel word. It is the current accepted way of getting out of something we don't want. It can be, as the author suggests, the mask over racism. It is also the "cultural fit" nonsense, where we reject qualified a qualified person for being whatever he is: too ugly, too attractive, too old, too much potential to be my boss...
