Haven't you just killed your company with this comment? Good Luck with any job interviews your company gives in the future. You appear to have left them open to claims of racist discrimination.
Guys, this is HACKER NEWS. I thought we were supposed to hold ourselves to a higher standard of conversation over here?
Could I just post one thing?

If you disagree with what someone writes, then you should reply simply and without embellishment. To conclude that someone has a "sick mind" or has "killed their company" is a bit much of a conclusion to draw from a simple online debate at a tech/startup discussion site.
If Hacker News offered the ability to lock discussions, then I am quite sure that this one would have been locked.
Can't we all just calm down and get back to coding?
However, there are times when one's blood boils for a reason. I reread this a few hours after my initial comments and... yep, I'm still angered when I read that those who call out someone for being racist are "backwards" and the equivalent of racists.
If someone wants to argue that racism isn't that big a deal these days... fine, whatever, that's debatable, and people deserve to be able to air their opinion without being shouted at. However, to stand up and say that those who denounce racism should shut up is despicable.
Sorry you don't value free speech, or the rules here at HN.
Imagine the company not hiring a non-white interviewee, and that person doing thorough research.
That comment is findable in search engines.
k33n has left himself open to accusations of racism, and put his company at risk of lawsuits.
