3 Where Was The Racism? |
|
4 |
|
5 As a reaction to open source becoming a cancel culture of choice and |
|
6 hysterical people seeing a word as a problem to really go for threatening |
|
7 with legal acts, calling the police, telling people, they go down the |
|
8 drain, are bad people for the rest of the life, we posted a poll asking |
|
9 about »yellow people«. |
|
10 |
|
11 In this study of the gopher mailinglist, 50% of the replies saw no |
|
12 racism and 50% saw racism, with overreactions. |
|
13 |
|
14 As we see, open source has an inherent problem of cancel culture, |
|
15 diverting us from technical merits to social-cultural blockers, keeping |
|
16 out people who could contribute neutrally to the greater work of free |
|
17 software, but are thrown out because of small triggers. |
|
18 |
|
19 This trigger cancel culture gets a big part of society to not speak about |
|
20 some topics and is the way towards 1984. We slowly forbid ourselves words |
|
21 and are not able to communicate properly. |
|
22 |
|
23 So the big questions remains: Where was the racism? |
