  And this is a guy in journalism. Where communication is his career. Awesome.

  Best comment so far. If his intention was to say "Diverse staff; we are looking for new and varied backgrounds and cultures to cover our stories", he should have said something along those lines to avoid the expected (and justified) "WTF" of saying they aren't accepting any more "privileged" positions.

    Or maybe we white males should just rest assured that we aren't being discriminated against, especially not by an organization of mostly white males, and think more carefully before we post things like this to HN. You knew exactly how people would interpret it, but you chose to ignore the context in which the question was asked.

  Luckily we all know the diversity crowd is exceedingly generous when interpreting the words of people they disagree with, always giving others the benefit of doubt. Like ModelViewCulture and their ilk. No snap judgements and emotional outbursts at all, no sir!
