So, yes, this is a joke. Obviously. You can stop getting angry now. Or get angry, but get angry at what Rent-a-Minority is angry about. The site is a #satire on a type of tokenism that is particularly rife in the tech and media world.

It's damn funny. But a site full of white people like HN will be way too uncomfortable to laugh at this.

I'm white. I and my two white sons found it hilarious.

Your remark, on the other hand, not so much.

>I'm white. I and my two white sons found it hilarious.

That's good. I'm glad we can all enjoy laughing at minorities together then.

[dang]

Please don't do this here.

Where do you get the idea that HN is full of "white" people?

Your sound like you see yourself as a non-racist, but you probably don't realize that you are actually being racist yourself by making these comments.

Given the stats on diversity in silicon valley, not exactly an out of touch statement.

SV is significantly overrepresented with east and south Asians, compared to the general US public. If you wanted to make SV match the general US demographics, they'd have to hire more white people.

Just because black people specifically are underrepresented in SV doesn't mean that it's (racially) non-diverse.

HN isn't just silicon valley folks

More than that, part of silicon valley's diversity is (iirc) an unusually high representation of asian men; an assumption of whiteness wouldn't get you far.
