That your post is on the top shows the "white male" bias in hackernews audience. People are up-voting your personal anecdote and your "I am a white male victim" post more than the discussions about the actual results on the original article.
- osipov 6y agoThe post reveals the hackernews bias against discrimination in all forms, regardless of whether it is targeted at minorities or white males. Meritocracy baby!

- hello_1234 6y agoI totally agree. But shouldn't we trust the data more than one person's anecdote? The original article clearly did not find any discrimination against white male. Rather than discussing that result, we are here commenting about one person's anecdote.
- SuoDuanDao 6y ago>The original article clearly did not find any discrimination against white male. How do you interpret women getting 10% more callbacks if not as discrimination against males?
- raxxorrax 6y agoThe demographic working in CS nearly reflects demographics that study CS or other relevant degrees. Ever asked yourself if it may be your bias that is the root of the accusations for discrimination? Because with the evidence available you can make that case.
