Journalists used to have a monopoly on the news. This power bred restraint; whatever their private feelings, they avoided overt personal attacks. Now this power and the consequent restraint are both evaporating. Now they're just Twitter users.

Steven Levy is a great journalist. It's both nasty and inaccurate to dismiss him as merely a "white male tech writer."

By "older generation" you are in effect saying so as that's who predominantly covered tech in the "older generation." It's not rocket science to understand what Nicole was saying.

Not rocket science at all, she was race baiting.

Why „nasty and inaccurate“? Why couldn’t you leave it with „inaccurate“? Well we both know why.pic.twitter.com/K0cXDkjZLi

She’s talking about your capacity, not Steven’s. Your affinity towards the older tech writers (who just happen to be mostly white & male) and disdain for the younger ones (who just happen to be more diverse across the board) can’t be a mere coincidence. Implicit bias is a thing.

I don’t think this is necessarily a racism thing, but it’s definitely a “you’re threatening my comfortable perch atop humanity, but I’m going to pretend my objections are independent of self interest” thing.
