- DanBC 8y agoHere's what I see if I click on the stupid fucking white man tweet. It shows the message is a reply to 3 accounts, including the conference. https://imgur.com/a/1RlK4MN https://imgur.com/a/1RlK4MN
- frindah 8y agoYes, there's a @jsconfeu in there.
- amingilani 8y agoOh wow, I missed the replies because I couldn't understand them. Thanks!
- pygy_ 8y agoThen someone @-mentioned the conference, and he replied this in Czech (translation courtesy of Google Translate): ———— About three hours ago, they came back from my mail, where they again rejected my talk proposal (or all the Xs that I sent - as every year). Chance? I do not think. :P Original: Cca tři hodiny nazpět mi od nich přišel mail, kde opět zamítli muj talk proposal (resp. všech X, co jsem -- jako každoročně -- poslal). Náhoda? Nemyslím si. :P ———— In other words, he suggested that his talks were rejected because of positive discrimination towards minority groups, and he's critical of such discrimination. I understand the conference could take offense with such statements (whether or not the talks were rejected for that reason).
