It’s up to opinion whether discussion of racial issues is political, but if I want to read about racial issues, Hacker News is not the top of my list.

  I suppose you also hate this article that's been posted here all the time, because it mentions that people with different ethnicities have different naming traditions? https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/ https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-... You can't escape this stuff and, I submit, you shouldn't want to. Even in tech. Heck, especially in tech.

    I just had a read, and found it to be informative. The article does not mention race or ethnicity and covers something useful which pertains to tech. I absolutely do want to escape the politics, as I find the discussions only lead to anxiety and polarisation.

      And yet, here you are. Flag it if you hate it, and move on!

        Flagging it would be inappropriate, it doesn't violate the guidelines. The appropriate response to a story you don't want to participate in is not to participate in it. Stories can also be hidden.

  Don't fucking read it then. Flag it, ignore it, and read something else.
