When you're the one in power, any move towards a more balanced society looks like someone coming for you. I think it's important to have empathy with the sorts of people who make this type of statement, from their perspective they are losing something, and that's hard. The problem is that what they're losing was built on the subjugation of others, it was a privilege. As a straight white man it took me a while to reframe my thinking around this, but I want to live in a world where other people get the experience I had growing up, rather than one where I can continue to have that experience at their expense. I see parallels in my work as well, to bring this back to a more HN appropriate position. I've seen company cultures change, and early employees feeling like they lost something or the culture deteriorated, when it would be more accurate to say that the culture changed to be more accessible to new employees and that the team was better overall as a result.
