Are sweeping generalizations of almost 11 million people the kind of comment we want to encourage on HN?

Are sweeping generalizations of almost 11 million people the kind of comment we want to encourage on HN?
- linuxuser001 7y agoYeah we should keep it a secret how racist America is.
- nec4b 7y agoCould you please link to some data or at least share you personal experience of how racist America is today?
- linuxuser001 7y agoYou can do it yourself I guess whites are the lazy ones.
- nec4b 7y agoI see that you are not a stranger to racism your self. Calling a billion people lazy because because of their skin color is really classy.
- linuxuser001 7y agoPersonal? I guess, I'm Central American, and just because of how I look I get followed at the mall and every 2 minutes I get asked "is everything okay sir?" Obviously they think I'm there to steal something. In Denver I went to a restaurant I overheard "why do I have to serve that spic". So okay no racism in America right? You idiot.
- nec4b 7y agoJudging by your demeanor here, i guess that might be the problem why people are not comfortable around you.
- xpe 7y agoThe commenter did not say all in Georgia are racist; he said ‘enough’ are to concern him. Discussing cultural factors and our perceptions of them are fair game, especially in this thread, because they affect the relocation thought process. I invite people to weigh in on the degree of racism across regions and states. I would like to see if there are ways to get more specific with data, though I don’t demand it. There are many aspects of society that are not easy to measure. That lack of data does not mean we should not talk about our experiences and perceptions.
- spumoni 7y agoevery day I look at it, this site has become increasingly anti-White. we need to speak up more about this.
- erikerikson 7y agoNot all means exists some. It includes at least one. The further qualification reinforces the more narrow scoping. An existential generalization seems inherently not sweeping. This is not to mention the personal connection to people with direct experiences (although perhaps availability bias).
- nec4b 7y agoIt's called virtue signaling. His group is the best and everyone else is despicable.
