>Even incremental progress is progress. Is this progress, or the appearance of progress (aka masturbation)? This is Microsoft, a trillion dollar company that continuously lobbies the government on issues much less important to society than systemic inequality. They've decided the proper corporate action in the wake of new civil unrest over racism is to change a variable name in an esoteric professional tool. A tool used almost exclusively by people smart enough to recognize the lack of active malice in the current name. The proper response to Microsoft by anyone who cares about racism should be to recognize the insult to their intelligence.
