I would disagree that modern hackers embrace racism and bigotry. I feel like that's more of the "unwashed masses" on the Internet.

- peterwwillis 7y agoI take it you're not familiar with GNAA... hackers are just people like everybody else, nothing about them is inherently anti-racist.
- mindcrime 7y agoI'm not sure the GNAA trolls on /. really qualify as "hackers", although this - again - takes us back into "no true scotsman" territory. The thing is, since most of those posts were Anonymous Cowards, it's hard to know how much actual racist intent was associated with any of it, and how much of it was just trolling / memes and "for the lulz".
- meheleventyone 7y agoDoes the last bit matter? Being racist for ‘fun’ is still racism it’s just the poster in question doesn’t want to take responsibility for their comfort with it.
