So if you argue against Google's diversity policies, you're fine as long as you write on par with one of the greatest writers of his generation¹.

If you argue for it, you can get away with any angry incoherent rant.

Isn't this what leftists call "privilege"?

You appear to be using HN primarily for political and ideological battle. That's an abuse of this site and we ban accounts that do it, so would you please not?

I think of it as participating in these kind of discussions without risking my career.

But I hear what you're saying, and I agree that this post was needlessly confrontational. I'll try to be a better HN citizen!
