some have a similar hiring experience to what Palantir did

... which is completely irrelevant to whether Palantir is on the right side of this issue.

If a police department was reported as displaying bias against blacks or muslims, would it be reasonable to respond with "I've had issues with blacks and muslims in law enforcement too"?

Now consider the fact that Palantir does a lot of work for intelligence agencies...

But this has no context. What kind of bias, what kind of issues. The example wrt asians has this context.
