Things you can't say in the tech world, 2019: * global warming is junk science * there are approximately two genders * Trump is a great president * the US is not a racist country * Apple sucks

Edit: If you're one of the many downvoters, who presumably disagree with this, I dare you to say any of these things if you work for a tech company.

* 2 + 2 is a color * there is a worldwide market for about 6 computers * by the year 2000 we will all be living in space.

I don't think you're wrong - I just think that your examples are about equivalent to mine, and nobody is upset by the constraints of society refusing to listen to those.

"Apple sucks" got 1000 upvotes yesterday on this exact website.

"Apple sucks" is pretty safe to say. The other ones are dead on, though as evidenced by the downvotes.

downvoters proved that rather quickly

African Americans consist of only 13% of the population yet commit over half of the crimes.

Asians and Whites score much higher on IQ tests than African Americans and Latinos.

Women have innately different interests than men.

Researchers are able to correctly classify human skulls into black and white Americans a vast majority of the time.

So?

People are trying to destroy Race, and it is scientifically defensible. This is important for the reasons why people want to destroy Race, which are inherently political.
