I think your downvotes are entirely because you used the word “problematic” which some people feel is often used to shut down debate.

A shame, because your link pretty convincingly shows that the article’s claims about the Inuit are simply false.

dwohnitmok in response to your edit, I agree this is the issue. Your link was fantastic and adds to the conversation.

But you're getting voted down too! (Maybe not anymore?) And ebg13 is getting absolutely destroyed.

That happens on HN, it can take a while for consensus to stabilize. Then another comment can come along and destabilize the consensus.

I try not to think about votes and instead of think about the signal-to-noise ratio of my comments. As long as we all try to learn and contribute positively to the community, occasional downvoted comments are fine.

HN's gonna HN. I try not to worry too much about it.
