"Insinuate" what? "Dogwhistle"?

Maybe I was being too equivocal. The parent commenters /do/ believe the developer is receiving preferential treatment based on one aspect of their declared identity. And it's not hard to share their sentiment: what warrants a thin Python wrapper library, which does not really bring new capabilities itself, receiving $20k when there are many other projects which could make an even bigger impact with that money? It seems unusual to me. Especially when considering they were choosing from a pool at GitHub scale, which is about as diverse as it gets in the open source software community.

I don't share the belief that "non cishet/white" people are unduly denigrated when they achieve success--not more than any other person on average, anyway. In fact, I see quite the opposite: there's tremendous amounts of pride when "non cishet/white" people achieve success.

If that was the case you wouldn't be here to continue doubling down on casting doubt on someone's success.

You seem to mistakenly believe I'm someone who cares about the person's identity. I don't. The only object of consideration is the project, and only its recent "success" is in question: there are many other projects that I believe would benefit much more from the resources, more than a thin Python wrapper library.
