A comment like this is completely unacceptable on HN. The guidelines make it clear that we expect better than this here:
Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.
Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.
Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.
Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.
"They genuinely believe I can’t get a job without a DEI quota, that I can’t work out how to get ID to vote, that I have to commit crime to survive and so shouldn’t be held accountable for my actions.
In their eyes I’m a helpless victim who needs saving by my benevolent white middle class liberal saviour. Without them I’m apparently destined for crime and poverty.
They convince themselves that this makes them good people. But the moment you challenge that thinking, you become a “bad” ethnic minority that’s ungrateful and deserving of abuse and punishment.
Their racism is 20-30% of the country and hides behind virtue which is what makes it so dangerous."
