I love the fact that the overall theme here is racism is bad, but as soon as I pointed out a racist policy my comment gets flagged and greyed out[0] (Hawaii Homelands using segregation legislation that literally says you have to be "of the blood of the races" to block all but the favored race from leasing land in vast swaths of Hawaii).

So it's not people think on HN think racism is bad, or that people agree with you. It's that racism is bad in the very specific conditions in which they disagree with it, and otherwise racism is so great we need to flag anyone who calls it out.
