Since you are prepared to make that argument, in what way will it benefit?
Does the color of my skin, my gender or my sexual orientation matter when providing feedback for a project such as this?
I would argue that those things are entirely irrelevant in this context, and wouldn't want them connected/associated with any contribution I made.
- scott_s 10y agoThe general idea here is that when you are part of a majority, it's alarmingly easy to accidentally set up your community in such a way that makes those from a minority feel less welcome. It's a potential unknown-unknown. I assume the Rust community is trying to find out if this is the case. Put another way, your skin color, sexual orientation, gender, etc. likely will not change your contribution. But if it turns out that people of a particular skin color, sexual orientation, gender, etc. are somehow disincentivized from contributing, that's a problem.
