To be fair though, you’re posting from an account that was created to post on this story a few days ago. The third comment on this is from an account created 24 minutes ago, for this thread.

Combined the story has more than 500 points from time on the fp, but that’s not enough? I’m trying to imagine the reaction if the “What Happens To Us...” story were similarly treated?

Yea because its related to hiring and discrimination.

It's a super hot topic that gets discussed a ton, probably more than any other in the last year. There are plenty of other threads about this theme and will be plenty more. Obviously it isn't being suppressed.

What does get penalized on HN are (a) dupes and (b) copycat or follow-up posts trying to hog in on their slice of the click-pie. That's a site quality issue that has nothing to with political sides.
