Earlier quoted context omitted.
Adding new historical obituaries specifically to address the issue that those other than White men were historically ignored in that section of the paper certainly seems at least related to a currently active area of identity politics. Not that I think the comment on politics usually getting flagged was useful or necessarily accurate.
Most people, me included, come to Hacker News for their tech-related news specifically because they don't want to see these kinds of useless, clickbaity, virtue signalling pieces.
