As a reaction to open source becoming a cancel culture of choice and
hysterical people seeing a word as a problem to really go for threatening
with legal acts, calling the police, telling people, they go down the
drain, are bad people for the rest of the life, we posted a poll asking
about »yellow people«.
In this study of the gopher mailinglist, 50% of the replies saw no
racism and 50% saw racism, with overreactions.
As we see, open source has an inherent problem of cancel culture,
diverting us from technical merits to social-cultural blockers, keeping
out people who could contribute neutrally to the greater work of free
software, but are thrown out because of small triggers.
This trigger cancel culture gets a big part of society to not speak about
some topics and is the way towards 1984. We slowly forbid ourselves words
and are not able to communicate properly.
So the big questions remains: Where was the racism?
