"After all, "everyone knows" that blacks are inferior and only useful as slaves (they even want to be, deep down); "everyone knows" that women are too temperamental to vote sensibly; "everyone knows" that people of that religion over there eat babies and we should destroy them before they destroy us..."

This is simply not true at all these days, and I don't like that HN users would push a normal conversation into one where you imply your "opponent" is racist, sexist, or a religious bigot. Might as well have called me a Nazi or brought Hitler into the conversation.

And I don't believe you need Psychologists or a peer reviewed study to discern mobile platform usage, we have other ways to getting said metrics.

She was saying that society in general was racist back in the day when they believed that conditions such as Drapetomania.

Thanks for the downvote, if she was saying that, why did she say "Everybody Knows" rather than "Everybody Knew." No, I see a distinct verbal jab in that statement, but whatever, I'd downvote her if I could, but you in power like to keep everybody but those in the click down by downvoting even when we contribute to the conversation. Hey, I have 351 karma, why don't you get your friends over here and bring me down to nothing!
