It's hard to tell that you're being sarcastic. Because I've read plenty of sincere comments from HN people expressing the same backwards views. You're being downvoted because your satire is too realistic. I haven't seen anyone in this discussion cherrypick ageism over sexism or racism. I think the reason you're not hearing talk about the other two is because ageism is mentioned in the article. But you're right. All three hiring biases have origin in the same fallacy (that good hires should look a certain way). There seems to be some political will here to combat ageism. I guess HN users are worrying about their future. But mention sexism / racism and everyone gets defensive. I suspect nobody wants to solve these problems, because they're hard (or because it doesn't directly benefit them).
