@nicol So, what do we have? The white guy forgot to check his privileges and praised the black guy for such high (for a black guy) achievements and thinks that this is OK. That's not OK. By focusing on skin color you devalue all his achievements.

@izby but I didn't focus on his skin colour Sam - you did. I listed a few things about him: his nationality, the region he's from, the city he's from, his higher education status, his race. You had a problem with *one* of those things. Why? You didn't mention any of his achievements - you started a conversation about skin colour and gender on a post that wasn't about gender and skin colour. You're still doing it. Maybe you never read the post and the interview it linked. Maybe you're a bot! The story in the post is that the co-founder of WordPress isn't known. He's not rich. And somehow he didn't end up like Walter White full of vengeance - tho he'd have every right to be. That's the post, and because I used the word 'black' in it - which is notable given how few black tech Unicorn founders there are - you commented with a random and not really relevent statement about race and gender.
