Almost all discussion of racism is not about the facts of discrimination, it's about politics of the 'culture war', including here on HN: 1. Consider whether you can predict with high accuracy a person's attitude toward a racial discrimination issue, while being blind to that issue's facts, based solely on the political beliefs of the person and on the race of the alleged victim. (You can do the same with politicians and, very sadly, with U.S. Supreme Court justices.) For example, I had no doubt what the parent article's position would be based on the publication's politics and the race of the alleged victims. 2. In the U.S., by far the most prevalent amount of discrimination historically and currently has been against African-Americans. Yet I can't remember the last time such an issue was on the front page. To a degree, that could be for lack of novelty, but that doesn't nearly explain the vast omission.
