I made it to the site finally and but I got wrecked by step 2. Where is /pol? There is no politics section listed under Boards except "Politically Incorrect" which can't be what you mean as I was immediately hit with the full n-word and wish I had used an incognito browser... Do many HN users actually frequent this website or should I be reinstalling my OS right about now??

It's exactly the reason people complain about anonymous image boards. But that's what it is. Even the "SFW" boards are filled with stuff that you might find distasteful or downright wrong. You are safe... don't worry. Unless you started downloading stuff from random users on 4chan. But if you did that i'm not sure we can help you!

yep - that's /pol/ - it stands for Politically Incorrect 4chan's indeed a cesspool, and /pol/, /b/, among some others are the worst. In fact, they're called "containment boards" for this very reason.
