Yeah just ignore. His initial tweet ('precious white dudes...') is borderline racist even. Reading the github issue, you handled things well even if others didn't, regardless of the merits of renaming the library or not.

Not sure how colour/race and gender come into the issue at all.

The fact that he's bought them into the argument to emphasise his point shows his point has little merit.

Thank you, that's reassuring.

I'll proceed with ignorance then.
