I'm cynical at heart. Anyone else that thinks that some higher up have done something racist and now the PR/HR machinery is working full time preemptively wash

I'm cynical at heart. Anyone else that thinks that some higher up have done something racist and now the PR/HR machinery is working full time preemptively wash the brand?

Who knows, another cynical interpretation is that they just want to jump on the bandwagon and hope to gain some marketing exposure.

It's more just likely people at the top are not very passionate about technology but are very passionate about social issues. I know a lot of people look to Firefox and therefore Mozilla as being a beacon against the big three and browser monoculture but there is evidently a disconnect between what most of us want from Mozilla and what interests the people in charge of Mozilla, judging from the engineers who were let go the other week.

  But what "systems of oppression" is there really against people of color in America? It seems like there is more systemic oppression against caucasians, that don't get easy access to stuff like affirmative action. I agree that there is systemic racism in the US, but it is the other way around. Caucasians gets shot by police every single day without as much as a media mention. But lo and behold if some black drug dealer fails to comply with basic instructons. As an outsider, I only have laughs and shrugs left for America. And the past months of so called protest made me open the eyes for how big a problem black violence is in America. All the footage of innocent people getting killed trying to protect their businesses, zero mainstream media mention. BLM takes offense to all lives matter, and after seeing BLM protesters run over a racoon and then beat it while its screaming in pain and fear - That made me realize that absolutely no lives matters for the BLM. We can all be thankful that BLM funding will take a drop after the elections are over.
