The problem is this entire ideology is paradox.
Improving inclusivity through exclusivity filters.
Being accepting of everyone by closely monitoring all parameters of all individuals to determine if they should be accepted.
All the SJW issues are like that, a group of people who feel they need to defend someone else. Like these people have solved all their own problems and can move on to "helping" everyone else.
I'm not going to get too fired up about it. But... I really cringe when I read "We're trying to change the predominately white face of programming". But, they aren't saying they'll do that by promoting people of color, or by opening a new distro that designed to be contributed more by people focused on social justice.
IDK... At some point I wonder why the color of my skin is so important to the people "trying to help".
edit: LOL shy downvotes. Because you can't tell me my skin color or physical features are important to my work - but you can't say that's not what this is all about either. Hackernews is becoming more and more like reddit :(
