So if you argue against Google's diversity policies, you're fine as long as you write on par with one of the greatest writers of his generation¹.

If you argue for it, you can get away with any angry incoherent rant.

Isn't this what leftists call "privilege"?

I think of it as participating in these kind of discussions without risking my career.

But I hear what you're saying, and I agree that this post was needlessly confrontational. I'll try to be a better HN citizen!
