&gt; I would put &quot;sexism in tech&quot;, &quot;H1Bs&quot; and &quot;finance crimes&quot; in that boat.<p>For the latter two, you see a diversity of perspectives. There are plenty on HN toeing the populist line (H1Bs = evil, HFT = evil), but also people willing to go into the nuance and give oppositional evidence. Well-substantiated comments rise to the top even when they defy the populist thinking.<p>I&#x27;ll concede that the former doesn&#x27;t have good discussions, but I&#x27;m not sure it&#x27;s possible to have a quality discussion about &quot;sexism in tech&quot; in any online forum. Saying the wrong thing will lead to you losing your job, but full anonymity brings out the trolls and the sexists.
