Pretty much any ethical discussion about race is suppressed on HN because this is a “Silicon Valley neo rationalist” site
Liam Kofi Bright outlines this with the Represser archetype in his new essay “White Psychodrama”
- andybak 4y agoYou are exaggerating. HN is fairly broad in it's politics and there's often quite challenging discussions around topics related to diversity. Whilst there is a tendency towards "Silicon Valley neo rationalist" and other voices are sometimes in the minority, you using a term like "suppressed" comes across as slightly overdramatic.
- bowsamic 4y ago> you using a term like "suppressed" comes across as slightly overdramatic. I don't think so, because the person I was responding to was flagged. Abusing the flagging functionality to silence difficult opinions about race is not uncommon on this website
