It's a community with individuals.

One user in particular made a pretty racially insensitive comment, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38496195 and they got downvoted for it. Hard.

So, re: your proposition that HN is the most racist community - No.

* 1. Some members are, for sure, and can be vocal about it, most aren't.

* 2. You should see some of the other communities out there, some are explicitly dedicated to racial purity and being complete idiots about it.

Ok.. that comment wasn't racially insensitve. So your point is mute.. can we move on plz?

I will respond, but ill let the community first handle your comment.
