Sure notify: You're right. I don't consider myself an expert on HN at all. I was truly trying to be helpful, as I could tell you were wandering into an ongoing conversation that you didn't know existed. I have seen similar topics about SV (sometimes it's there are too many people from India, not enough women, age discrimination against 50 year olds, Europeans not happy with immigration). I actually DID answer it, so Let me give it another try: No. Silicon Valley is not racist. Not at all. They would hire an eskimo if he could produce something promising. Have you had a negative experience in SV that you would like to share?
