re: If people don't even know what gender you are/what color your skin is, can they actually be intentionally racist/sexist towards you?
Hmm, why do you think intentionally is important in that sentence?
It wouldn't surprise me at all if making the site unfriendly towards newcomers affected minorities more. That seems... bad? And if so, anonymity wouldn't fix it.
It's funny how being results-oriented seems to be counterintuitive to many people whenever a discussion touches on morality. Somehow the issue of good intentions (or lack thereof) overrides everything else.
