I'd say those people who suddenly make innocent common words "racist" are the assholes. They're extremely privileged and act like a totalitarian regime. What's scary is that they believe they're on the right side.

That is dangerous overstatement.

That is a hyperbolic statement.

No, it isn't.
You're wrong. Do you know the origin of political correctness? Stalin and Nazis loved that.

"Blacklist is racist" is indeed a dangerous overstatement.

We've banned this account for using HN primarily (exclusively, actually) for ideological battle. We don't allow that here, regardless of what ideology you're for or against. It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for.

This is totally untrue and everybody knows that.

If you can find an example of an account abusing HN the way you were, which we haven't banned, I'd like to know about it.
