> the use of racist terms like “China virus” has also grown

I will convert to Scientology before I accept that it's "racist" to refer to a disease by its place of geographical origin.

80% of Russians live in the European part of Russia.

Such nonsense. Everyone knows that if someone published "hacked" materials which were damaging to Trump then Twitter would laugh you out of the room if you suggested they block it.

This article has been suppressed for one reason and one reason alone: because it's potentially damaging to Joe Biden's election campaign. I know it, you know it, Twitter knows, everybody else knows, so stop pretending that this is about anything else because no-one is fooled.

Every tyrant and dictator in history thought he was on the side of "progess" and was building a better world.

I don't think it's possible to delete your own comment on HN.

It's possible for the mods to "shadow delete" your comments: it still appears to you when you're logged in, but no-one else can see it. (To see if any your comments have been shadow-deleted, check out the difference between news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=yourusername when you're logged in and logged out.)

Well that makes the success of Asian Americans even more remarkable, given that elite schools across the country routinely discriminate against them

> across state lines

Kenosha is right next to the state border; he lived close to Kenosha on the other side of that border. What does it matter that he crossed state lines?

> kills two people and injures a third

All of whom were violently attacking him (one of them with a gun), as can be seen from numerous videos of the incident.

> you’re part of the problem

I'm proud to be part of the problem if the opposite of "problematic" is to accept provocative claims without evidence.

Nothing in that link provides any evidence that KR is a white supremacist.

That's a very cynical take. You don't need to have your own speech rights threatened to care about free speech, and many, many people are capable of defending free speech even if their own views aren't being "suppresed".

My political opinions are reasonably mainstream, but I'll happily defend the free speech rights of groups I disagree with (e.g. pro-lifers.)

Jack Dorsey gave $10 million to Ibram Kendi, a man who wants to create an unelected and unaccountable "department of anti-racism" with the power to veto any federal bill that doesn't conform to Kendi's specific, contentious political agenda.

In other words, Jack Dorsey supports totalitarians.

Being a free speech advocate when it benefits your own views is an oxymoron. Defending free speech by definition means defending people's right to say things you disagree with. If you only defend people's right to agree with you then you're not a free speech advocate.

> minorities... make less money than their white counterparts

Are Asians not in the minority anymore?
