Sorry I'm too stupid for this one. Who wrote (or said) something about what or which person? Was the indicated talk the target here? Was the person giving the talk the target here? Who was attacked and why? On the surface that just seemed that the majority of the people contributing to some project (in this case React) are white people which presumably ends up in joining together and dismissing opinions coming from people associated with other groups. Was this the case? Where is the evidence for that? Is / was the discussion completely unrelated to this? Really - I don't get at it all. Maybe a language barrier. Don't get me wrong - if something like that occurred then a CoC / actions from the project leads must follow, but I just don't see it. Maybe the article is not clear about it. Thanks for helping me out on this one!

Someone associated with react gave a speech on white supremacist capitalist patriarchy at a tech conf. Someone said this is a swf topic. People agreed. Orginal speaker cries Racism/male power and has other people back her up. She says she is leaving community. React leader turns off twitter for a few days and comes back with new racism react behaviour code. Most devs just keep thier heads down and keep coding.

      Tech is perhaps unique in that people outside of it have very strong opinions on those inside it.

Is a little one sided as from the perspective of someone involved but gives a good overview. Does overlook the fact many of people assumed the person at the center was a trump fanatic which has since been debunked.
