This is not racial discrimination, it's a bug with a piece of software. There are many bugs with software, because behind it are human beings that are being pressured in many ways to ship said software. Behind all of this is a pretty badly tested library that someone took off GitHub and dumped into Zoom. There is no ill-intent. If we consider every little thing as racism, we remove the weight of the word and what it actually should be used for. The end of that road being that everyone cries racism for everything and we all become indifferent to hearing the term.

It’s more than a simple bug. It’s a design flaw that results in mistreatment for people of certain skin colors. You are likely correct that the intent was not malicious. This is no excuse. Throughout history, everyone believes they are doing the right thing or are properly justified, even when heinous acts are being committed. We are master story tellers, and we tell the most twisted stories to ourselves. At the end of the day, the impact that our actions have matters a lot more than our best intentions.
