Nothing to see here except devs covering their asses from accusations. As a PoC, I recognize that actions like this do nothing to change the system and they are really just diversions from actually putting in effort to make a real impact.
- Hamuko 6y agoWhat's the definition for PoC? I want to know if I'm included.
- votepaunchy 6y agoIt’s a discriminatory term excluding people suffering from albinism.

- dehrmann 6y ago(non-rhetorically) I wonder if actions like this are more harmful or beneficial. On one hand, they raise awareness, but on the other, they're just token gestures, and they might cause debate that'd be better spent on something for meaningful.
- Ghjklov 6y agoIt's the kind of token gesture that actually just makes people more skeptical or angry at PoC who most of the time had nothing to do with the gesture.
- ashtonkem 6y agoI doubt that’s specific to these kinds of efforts; it seems that any advance for PoC in America draws a significant backlash, whether or not the advance was substantive or symbolic.
