That story was flagged, what a sad state of the industry. It’s no wonder we have terrible racist tools when we aren’t even able to acknowledge it.

And this story was the number 1 story on HN when I posted that comment 10 minutes ago and it has now been flagged down to number 37 and off the front page. I will repeat what I said in that thread. HN doesn't like talking about race and racism.

Probably because many people don't see this as racism.
