Feel free to ban me if you’d like to make this place less “inclusive” bro.
HN certainly has a sampling bias leaning towards the content of white, single, liberal SF bros. Because that’s HN’s user base.
I'm not going to ban you right now because that wasn't that long ago—but please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules from now on.
As for "HN is a liberal" [etc] - the other side makes the same dramatic claims about how your side dominates the site. It's pure sample bias, driven by the fact that we all vastly overweight the data points that we dislike. I've written about this at length: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor... - and I could give you a list of hundreds of comments making exactly the opposite complaint about HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25662497, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25434397, etc. ad nauseum.
