People are getting mad at how much coding is done by the "wrong" people. They want to put an end to the meritocracy technology has allows and make sure affirmative actions permeates all aspects of society.
Really what it's about is they have been crying racism for so long now that a faceless/genderless meritocracy actually exists blacks are getting their asses kicked even worse discrediting most of what they have been saying about institutional racism so they are screaming for diversity even louder now and doing move chest beating than even before.

"this is not about socio-economics class" -> that's how you get a company full of rich black kids who went to the same rich high schools and prep programs that the rich white kids went to. No diversity in life experience

Your comment is spot on. You could remove the word "current" from the two places you used it and your comment would still be spot on.

"Some of the biggest barriers to progress are black women."
Yep, that would cause a firestorm for sure.

Fuck no, good people can leave. Keep those fuckers clustered and cloistered where they've gathered.
Think about the big picture if these people too frequently take flight, it will be like a plague of blue leg hair that hits companies that hire too often. We must quarantine, good companies will fear the quarantine if they don't fear the SocJus.

Are you saying that GitHub should be a containment company? Because once it goes down, these crybullies are just going to spread to other companies due to "diversity concerns". Having the sane programmers run away won't help matters; the battle of ideas has to be constantly waged against the incursion of tin-pot dictators.

Jokes on them - Asians want nothing to do with their ignorant views of technology except to make money off of these idiots.

It doesn't really matter where or why this is being presented, it's fucked up no matter what.

It's okay, it still definitely applies to github as a whole, considering it is merely part of a larger pattern from them, like this code of conduct they endorse which is fucking crazy and openly bigoted against white straight men, and deleting repos whose politics they don't like (like this which was a parody of a proposed feminist programming language, or this which was a gamergate repo) or which use the word "retarded".
