I've never seen minorities being mistreated on stack overflow. Does anyone have any examples?

  I don’t believe SO has a field for race, so unless you put it in your profile or username I doubt anyone is even aware what colour you are or country you’re from.

    People can make assumptions based on names and profile photos.

      But you would have to also assume that rudeness against someone is due to their race, unless it's specified in the rude comment.

  It was few years ago, I asked a question and posted the code that I had written on a dynamic programming question. I used to keep a public profile had around 2k or so. Dude(with a higher score than I had), left a comment. "You should consider another profession, you don't have aptitude for programming".

    That just sounds like somebody being a jerk, but I don't see anything about minorities or calling out PoC in there.

    That guy is rude, but my question still stands.

  It's not true, but they have to signal somehow. Latino here, never experienced a single thing they're claiming on their site. I've been using SO since around 2009.
