Sorry you feel that way.

Personally, diversity of people's thought interests me more than diversity of their superficial birth characteristics.

I recall meeting great people and talking about all manner of things when I last attended FOSDEM.

Maybe next time try interacting more - learning about people's character and experience - rather than judging those people on their skin colour at first glance?

Thank you, spot-on.

There’s no way you’ve been here for 12 years and think this comment is appropriate for this forum

[zilti]

Is it that bad now here, too?

[bowsamic]

The tone of the comment is dishonest and mocking while responding to an unqualified but reasonable concern. It isn’t appropriate for this forum. In the past this forum was much less conservative though

[zilti]

I don't see anything dishonest and mocking in calling out racism and sexism. At most, the comment is a bit condescending.

It makes me sad for society, and concerned for my children, that many people on the Left now believe that racism and sexism are okay, provided they are directed toward white men.

The Overton Window shifted sufficiently far to the left that perpetrators of anti-white and anti-male bigotry can't even comprehend why some would find it disagreeable.

I think we need to take a long hard look at the education system, legacy media and social media, and tackle hyper-"progressive" ideology where necessary. Society is going to a dark place if we allow the next generation to be endoctrinated with moral relativism.

Is this satire?

[bowsamic]

How is it "calling out racism and sexism", the initial comment was the opposite of sexist and racist. The comment I replied to was racist and sexist. The original comment was anti-sexist and anti-racist

What is dishonest is that both you and the person I replied to are pretending that anti-racism is racism and racism is anti-racism

[zilti]

"Don't judge people by their skin colour or superficial birth characteristics" is what now? Racist and sexist? Good grief. I am so done.

What are you talking about?
