It is doing the opposite of what it appears to be doing here. Blackhat is incredibly prestigious, expensive, and largely corporate and government in attendance.

If there really was some association to race (I do not think there is), this would be a positive example. What I would like to see all these people do, who are doing find and replace in repos, is to show up to local city council meetings. They should find out what changes would be most impactful for minorities in their city and fight for those. Changing 100 tech conference names will never negate the economic damage of them blocking housing development in the single family home neighborhoods that they live in around Mountain View.
