^ This. If you're good, your sex/race doesn't matter. Stop trying to force your shitty "equality" politics on a field that does very well without.

  Your account is 40 minutes old. The way HN works nowadays (per my observations) your comment will almost indubitably get deleted and your account banned, because you've made a worthless comment (void of any reasonable argument or explanation). But I'm requesting HN mods that be to not do that please. Because this is such a recurrent response, I'd rather that one of our elders and wiser ones respond to this with their insights. Bigotry is best expunged from minds and hearts by free speech -- talking about it openly helps clear up things a lot.

    Could you elaborate on how the GP's post was bigoted. All I read from it was the claim that racism/sexism does not exist, and a request against affirmative action. Granted, the entire comment was void of any argument, and meets my definition of worthless, but I do not see the bigotry in it.

      >All I read from it was the claim that racism/sexism does not exist, and a request against affirmative action. I'm actually making the argument that prejudice is alive and well and that that is the whole problem. We should be blind to who prejudice is directed at and attempt to reduce it as a whole, not "fight fire with fire" or "racism with racism."
