No I see your point. I also think this is a harmful stereotype. It’s not about your point.

- Mz 9y agoWell, I don't think I am stereotyping. I am absolutely not saying "all IT people have terrible social skills" or anything like that. Just because the stereotype exists does not mean I am promoting it. Sorry if that is a sore point for you. But, making a point in the particular case is not the same as tarring all IT people. I do plenty to give push back against such stereotypes. * I generally prefer the company of IT people. I long have. It is part of why I spend so much time on HN. But I don't feel I need to follow some sort of extremist zero tolerance policy here. * For example: http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/2017/08/communicating-with-strangers-on-internet.html http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/2017/08/communicatin...
- eradicatethots 9y ago“Most black people are lazy” “Sort if that’s a sore point, I didn’t say all black people are lazy though” What a joke of a reply. You should be ashamed of yourself.
- Mz 9y agoI didn't say most. And having a career choice in common is not at all comparable to something unchangeable like your race.
- eradicatethots 9y agoI didn’t realize that skin color being unchangeable was the only reason those stereotypes were bad lol... you have a fascinating mind, and should still be ashamed lol
