Ask HN: Is HN too white and male?

from the ask-hn dept.

I am referring to a conversation where people react to a tweet saying: "also whoever posted my tweet to the orange website, fuck you".

One of the explanation to this was that HN conversation is too white and male. What can we do about that? Is the vote system encouraging white male conversation?

Presumably referring to this tweet?

I wouldn’t assume that.
