> Hard part is he's probably justifying to himself that he has been "censored" and that "the truth hurts".
Of course he is, but also with whatever pseudo agenda driven 'science' he's been reading to confirm his bias, which focus on stoking racial tensions whilst ignoring any socioeconomic factors that come into the mix.
I feel bad for these people but there isn't anything you can really do. He doesn't want to discuss this in good faith, so the only appropriate response is to flag and ban them. Making other people expend the time and effort to point out that he's spewing crap for him to then ignore it and double down on his views seems like a pointless exercise.
I absolutely think that in real life you should have these discussions because people are more open to talking, but is it worth the time for some troll spewing racist 'facts that everyone knows deep down'?

So that dude specifically created an account to spew his rasist crap.
It's actually encouraging and speaks for the HN community that such drivel is dead in minutes.
