> You wouldn't approve of a "Whites in tech" blog so why be so self righteous about this? You mean all the other blogs? It's safe to assume you also rail against the practice of "Wellness Rooms" being exclusively for use by nursing mothers...

There are no "Whites in tech blogs". Only certain races are allowed to do this. Point me to one? Post it on Hacker News and observe the reaction afterwards.

  I don’t think anyone should or would stop you from buying a whites in tech domain, building a site around the concept and submitting your articles here. I’m kind of confused as to why you’d ask somebody else to go through the process of building that theoretical site and posting it here though. If that’s something that you would like to exist, why not make it yourself?

    >ask somebody else to go through the process of building that theoretical site What are you talking about? The poster claimed these types of sites exist, I only asked them to show me the evidence of it, and I implied the reaction would most certainly not be one of passive acceptance or lack of comment like we see with this one. I obviously did not say they themselves should build it. >or would stop you from buying a whites in tech domain, building a site around the concept and submitting your articles here I disagree, but I acknowledge someone would have to run the experiment to know for certain. I do commend you for not being a hypocrite, and supporting others who may also "not mind" when people "make websites about others folks like them in tech".

      >I obviously did not say they themselves should build it. I’m not sure that that is obvious. You posted this bit of instruction: >Post it on Hacker News and observe the reaction afterwards. If the “whites in tech” site doesn’t exist, wouldn’t your command necessarily include creating it? How is the poster you’re talking to supposed to follow your instructions exactly? >I disagree, but I acknowledge someone would have to run the experiment to know for certain. How would someone _stop_ you from buying a “whites in tech” domain, using it to write a blog, and submitting a link to this website? You are trying to make a bit of a fuss about a website that you say doesn’t exist, so why not build it and post about it? I don’t really understand being impassioned about something so squarely theoretical.

        It would be flagged instantly. >I'm not sure that that is obvious. No, it is. You just missed it.

> You mean all the other blogs? Do you mean all blogs that don't state skin colors in the domain/name are done by white people? That's one of the more racist and demeaning comments I've seen here.

  I mean, all the other blogs that highlight stories of predominantly white men in tech. If you really feel that white people are poorly represented in online literature, feel free to create a "Whites In Tech" blog. Also, can you be racist against a ethnic group that is in the majority and wields nearly limitless power?
