No, he's complaining that they didn't ask him specifically. It really easy to find black developers who were consulted and agree with the change. Here we go (this took under 5 seconds for me to Google) https://dev.to/afrodevgirl/replacing-master-with-main-in-github-2fjf https://dev.to/afrodevgirl/replacing-master-with-main-in-git...

  ...yes? No one is forcing anyone to do anything. I don’t think anyone expects “main” (“develop”, “default”, “trunk”, ...) to ever become the default branch name.
