My feeling here is that these issues are not as pressing to progressives as conservatives think they are. Not surprisingly on this site, I only see these topics brought up from the conservative "anti-woke" perspective.
OP's submission history shows a pretty clear theme with these type of articles. I think an occasional discussion is fine but some users here insist on carrying out some sort of culture war here.
From the guidelines:
"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon."
"Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity."
- leephillips 5y agoAs the OP, I prefer my discussions to be mostly free of ad hominem. If you don’t see why the topic is interesting and is a new angle on a new (“latinx” is quite new) phenomenon, there is little effort required to simply move on. In the past 10 days I’ve submitted links about mathematics, computer science, the Defense Dept, physics, and libraries. But this is the one you decided to drop in on and complain about.
