Yeah, amazing what can happen when you make an argument poorly and without thought to how your audience will react.

Oh but citations. Good for you, that's a good bit of research. Sure the facts seem cherry picked and don't necessarily support your conclusions. You also presented them in an entirely tone deaf manner, you seem to imply a number of negative things, you perpetuated stereotypes, and you didn't explore any possible alternative explanations, but you definitely cited some research papers. B+ for effort, F for execution.

F as in fired with cause.




Yikes. I’d regret having to be corporate legal counsel having to defend firing “for cause” in these political correctness scenarios to a jury of 12.

More like go directly to S as in seven figure settlement package.

We've banned this account for repeatedly violating the site guidelines. Would you please not create accounts to do this with?


I didn't. I created an account for discussion.


That's fine. But you need to use the site as intended. That means remaining scrupulously respectful of others, not using the site for flamewar or ideological battle, and the other things at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
