Then communication happened, and oddly enough, communicating succinctly was more important than listing out all possible combinations in an effort for perfection.
Your comment completely ignores my point! My point is that I want conversations on this site to be worthwhile, and divisive thinking tends to destroy that. Your example “black man” is unnecessary and creates a divisive context. I think you make the same category of error in your implied definitions of “engineer” and “intelligence”. If you might spend some time to read through the comment tree below your GP comment, and try and understand why various people are reacting, I think that would help you and the HN community. Aside: Yes, I did understand “the point” which was written about in the article. Disclaimer: I have no HN superpowers.
Edit: What outcome do you want for yourself by commenting here? For me, I want to read insightful comments, and I want to practice my thinking by challenging myself to think about topics that others know more about.
Suggestion: Avoid prickly metaphors. Especially ones that imply reader is situated in a particular country?
Reason: Everyone can be racist. In a place with only black men, is nobody a racist?
