Maybe on which programming language or framework is best. Most articles regarding race/gender discrimination even if they directly involve major tech firms are flagged and downvoted by large portions of the community. If they survive the initial wave, the top comments are usually pretty dismissive

IIRC the "strange year at uber" article was one of the most up-voted articles this year.
People on here are always willing to read stories with substantiated claims or new information. However, yet another article pointing out how there is a general gender imbalance in the workforce that matches college CS graduation rates is likely to fall flat.

Large businesses being evil is a very common narrative and a lame cliche really.
So if HN is downvoting, it's probably because educated people are not liking being played by a tired narrative.
Major tech firm is worse with race/gender discrimination than the community at large? Please, ever worked blue collar and seen their hiring practices?
They are dismissive for a reason.
If the tech community wants to set a good example, great. Being played to feel like they are worse than society... to smart for that narrative.
