I don't doubt that you're asking this in good faith and it's a legitimate question. However, it's offtopic in Who Is Hiring threads, so I've detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31948012.
It's offtopic in Who Is Hiring threads because this isn't a feasible place to have an expansive discussion about a topic that is important, general, inevitably controversial, but tangential to any specific ad. Fairness is a factor too, since the same question applies to and could/should be asked of dozens (if not hundreds) of organizations in these threads.
It's a question, of course, that people are welcome to discuss on Hacker News in general, and there have been many such discussions and debates over the years.
