It boils down to "Them that has, gets." which is hardly groundbreaking news.

All this does is very, very politely tell us in extremely PC terms what we already know: Rich white people have more opportunities in the US than people outside that group.

I'm interested in figuring out how we break down some of those barriers. I'm a woman. I've been on HN a decade. Virtual hobnobbing with all the right people has so far failed to open any doors for me. As best I can tell, my gender has played a large role in that.

My efforts to understand that, resolve that, or even just discuss it tend to be met with open hostility.

So color me unimpressed with this extremely PC way of saying "The Old Boy's Club is alive and well. No girls or brown people are really welcome."

I live with that reality every single day.
