In the last 6 months there have been security breaches at Facebook [1] Google [2] Cisco [3] and look at those threads and some of these breaches are extremely amateurish and the general consensus is these things happen and the top voted responses mirror this attitude.
Yet on the same site on the threads about India, China and non US companies we see some kind of dissonance where these are reframed as showhow affecting these companies uniquely because of 'poor standards' and 'mediocre engineers' and the top voted responses reflect this.
Far from informed discussion this not only demonizes entire groups but creates and perpetuates prejudice that will no doubt impact everything from recruitment to general behavior. And this continues on discussions beyond security to things like corruption, surveillance and other issues.
