White privilege. Brown guys can't even report racism.

I have an even snarkier reply, but I'm going to drop it. You're barking up the wrong tree here, this is not really appropriate commenting behavior on Hacker News. I really recommend reading https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html - accusing a benign article about swimming pools of being racist and then disregarding my comments because of my race (and assuming my race) isn't really appropriate. If you disagree with my comment, reply to the contents of it, rather than my skin color.

  I responded to the contents of the comment and the post. You sir, gave a condescending response that u are letting it slide. The mere assumption that brown people reporting racisim is wrong and that u let it slide shows your ignorance. If you are really you are right, we can take this in front of jury. Interested? I am 100% sure you ll complain if any picture online suggests sexism. Isn't that double standard? I posted that comment there to register this issue. I know this country is too busy fighting for white women rights and not care about racism across the board. When the climate changes, this will log will be brought up.

    "White privilege" is hardly a stunning rebuttal. In any case... > The mere assumption that brown people reporting racisim is wrong and that u let it slide shows your ignorance. I never made the statement that you cannot report racism, only that in this case I thought you are in the wrong. You are free to report whatever you are like, just as I'm free to make a statement that I don't think it's correct. I was a little snarky in my initial comment, but my point still stands. > If you are really you are right, we can take this in front of jury. What kind of jury are we talking about? > I am 100% sure you ll complain if any picture online suggests sexism. Isn't that double standard? I posted that comment there to register this issue. I know this country is too busy fighting for white women rights and not care about racism across the board. If I saw a blatant example of racism or sexism in a post, I will call it out. No double standard. You're the one making assumptions here, that I only care about white woman's rights. > When the climate changes, this will log will be brought up. Is that a threat? Please elaborate.

        I don't appreciate being threatened. This is not appropriate behavior. If you're looking to sue me, I'm happy to give you an email to talk with your lawyer. Have a nice day.
