The demographic working in CS nearly reflects demographics that study CS or other relevant degrees. Ever asked yourself if it may be your bias that is the root of the accusations for discrimination? Because with the evidence available you can make that case.

The post reveals the hackernews bias against discrimination in all forms, regardless of whether it is targeted at minorities or white males. Meritocracy baby!

All hatred needs to stops.

I totally agree. But shouldn't we trust the data more than one person's anecdote? The original article clearly did not find any discrimination against white male. Rather than discussing that result, we are here commenting about one person's anecdote.
