i believe that flagging my comment was not an attempt to avoid flamewars, but plain censorship of a honest intellectual question that any society taking a stance, against or in favor of multiculturalism (that is, hosting non-integrated completely different cultures within its borders), must confront sooner of later when things like this lecturer's ordeal start happening.
The article was a concrete instance of the abstract dilemma i posed in my comment, so it was on-topic and necessary imho.
- dang 4y agoYou can call it censorship if you want—people mostly use that word nowadays to express a feeling—but the moderation point is that you plainly broke HN's rules with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34298516 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34298516, and doing that will get you banned here.
