Their new 'social impact team' isn't a fan of white people https://twitter.com/_danilo/status/690601512813367297 https://twitter.com/_danilo/status/690601512813367297 http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/02/08/report-anti-white-agenda-revealed-at-githubs-diversity-team/ http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/02/08/report-anti-white-a...

  Wow, that tweet is blatantly racist. I'm somewhat surprised that this wasn't made into a bigger deal. Or, if it was, that I somehow missed it.

    This is the world's smallest violin, playing just for the white people. Save the outrage for people who are actually discriminated against.

      >Save the outrage for people who are actually discriminated against How about white people at Github?
      - ceejayoz 11y ago
        Is there any indication they're suffering actual discrimination? Pay gaps, harassment, disproportionately not-hired or fired?

        Yes, my sense of entitlement is being challenged.

        Like all racism, how much you encounter it really depends on where you live. A white person living in the Big Island of Hawaii.. almost daily.
        ceejayoz 11y ago
        Unless Github's located in Hawaii, I'm not sure how that's relevant. Github is predominantly white and located in SF. Are white employees there suffering significant "actual discrimination" as the post a couple levels up alleges?

        No.

  Holy shit. That's some of the most egregiously racist things I've seen and I'm not white! No business from me, ever! Elaboration : I feel like apologising for the knee jerk reaction. A tweet I would forgive, but that corporate slide in a corporation that aggressively claims to be social, inclusive, community etc. is simply terrible hypocrisy. But anyway I checked with my PM and my team uses self hosted gitlab and the decision was purely technical :)

  geez. i hadn't seen that tweet. crazy. i would love to consider gitlab as an alternative. need to plan on migrating my repos and gists over first. i can't support that type of culture. not today. not ever.

    Gitlab has migration tools for most of your github thingies (wikis, issues, prs, etc). You should be able to migrate quite easily without losing too much history. http://doc.gitlab.com/ee/workflow/importing/import_projects_from_github.html http://doc.gitlab.com/ee/workflow/importing/import_projects_...

  Well granted, they are making an impact. It might not be the impact they wanted. It reminds me of how ardent fans of <anything> (programing language, framework, brand, etc) are usually its worst enemies. But doing what they are doing, they are working for the opposition in fact.
- adambard 11y ago
  Ironically, if white people were in charge, history suggests we'dve definitely done a better job of subtly excluding the "wrong" people without being explicit about it.
