You're presumably being downvoted because you changed the subject to the most guaranteed political, racial, and religious flamewar there is these days. That's exactly the wrong place to take a thread on Hacker News. This place is for thoughtful discussion, not political agitation, and if the Venn diagram of those two has anything in it at all, it's at most a sliver.

Agitated political discussions always turn into the same thing: ever angrier and more grandiose restatements of pre-existing positions, with no hope of arriving at the truth, and poison for the collegial atmosphere we're trying for here.
