Jesus christ. these threads on hn have become so toxic this is pointless to engage.

how tf is ethnic diversity harmful?

also my comment had nothing to do with hiring.

but to respond anyways:

ideological diversity !== making room for racist, homophobic, christian nationalist or otherwise hateful people.

and people have every right not to want to have to work and sit next to someone who is actively working to make their life worse, take away their rights, and or who are simply diametrically opposed to their very existence and often overtly bring this with them into said workplace. e.g. see all the other threads on hn that have to do with race and gender.
