I'm not sure why your default position is that conservatism is anti-minority. It just seems intellectually lazy. Thiel is a pretty hardcore libertarian, so it makes sense that he looks at the world through a lens of personal responsibility, as opposed to group tribalism. It's merely a question of first principles.
If you disagree, that's fine (and plenty of people do), but accusing him of being racist (or racist-adjacent) is silly. I expect a tad more insight out of HN comments.
