It was mega-downvoted because it was (a) very confused, and (b) talked about "chauvinism". Either one of these errors would've drawn a handful of downvotes and then been ignored, but the combination is much worse: it signaled an intent to spread Social Justice into a place where it doesn't belong, in a way that doesn't make sense, in a way that would've damaged both Social Justice itself and thinking about AI if it stuck, and we are on guard against that, and we should be.
