A comment on Mozilla to remove “meritocracy” from governance docs because it's “problematic”. Parent comment
Eliminating meritocracy as a value doesn't discriminate against cis white males.
Nor does meritocracy as a value discriminate against non-cis non-white people.
This effort is a power-grab by a small group of people based on their radical political views, couched in feel-good words like inclusion.
They seek to have their political views reflected in language choice, to advance their specific political agenda over the project.
It has nothing to do with race, gender, or skin color, nor does it have anything to do with diversity.
They rely on the cooperation who want to 'do something' but it is about control.
