You're absolutely right, but HN users don't realize that most of America exists outside of their ideological bubble.

It's racism and nothing else. Thing is, it's OK to be racist nowadays, as long as you're a liberal.

Edit: to the guy quoting the dictionary below me, this is racism in a really obvious way. It is "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race" and it's not okay just because you don't explicitly declare your race superior.

Again, not racism. It's being stereotypical.

Dictionary definition:

>prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
