Yes, obvious trolling by a Nazi username gets downvoted. Yay us!

Unfortunately, biases are rarely so blatant. Many are even non-malicious and entirely unconscious, like how people tend to guess older ages for black youth than white youth. http://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2014/03/black-boys-ol...

I still say they don't represent the technical community. And it's blatantly obvious they don't represent the HN community, given the downvotes.

I'm not saying there aren't biases, sexism, ageism, or racism in tech, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't point at the obvious troll and say "this right here is the face of tech".
