Looks like HN still does that. One of my comments earlier today was calling someone out who said it may or may not be a problem for you that the developers of some IDE are part-Russian, part-Czech[1]. I'm getting mixed up- and downvotes on a comment saying that I find this a harmful generalization (with no replies, by the way, so I don't know if maybe the downvoters didn't like a typo that I made, if they think xenophobia is fine, or anything in between).
