While at least they have admitted their past hostility towards new users (lh3.googleusercontent.com), they also claim having been hostile against minority groups (meta.stackexchange.com).
This makes me ask: How do they know which users belong to alleged minority groups?
I have the impression most StackExchange users do not even mention anything about their country of origin, gender, etc. . They just go there to seek help and find a solution for a technical/programming problem. That's all.
How about keeping unrelated politics out of computing/programming/electronics-focussed sites? Or could it just be a marketing stunt to appeal to politically left people?
What they have failed to mention is their hostile auto-ban system, which allows few downvotes to auto-block questions or answers from the account for half a year, with no appeal or review options.
