This is absolutely not true where I come from. I don't think you should consider your personal beliefs and biases to be universal to the whole planet.

Not sure about this particular instance, but this user's comments in this thread show quite aggressive, preconceived and completely unnecessary stance.

To people like that everything is sexist/racist/-phobic.

Since HN is generally above that, comments trying to derail the actual discussion and lower the level of discourse are not welcome.
