>Moreover, how can a "list of best names ever" be so troubling, let alone racist? Well I imagine the list had a lot of people from certain ethnicities...

  It didn’t. See DHHs blog post for numbers. > Out of the 78 names listed on the last version we were able to recover, just 6 names appear to be Asian.

    Really? DHH mentioned the vast majority of names were Nordic or English. Isn't that racist against the Nordic and English people?

      Most people don’t consider discrimination inside European / Asian / African groups as racism - rather, discrimination between those groups.

        I don't think the posts specified the ethnicities of the people who made the lists. Are you sure it is intra-group and not inter-group?

          It's likely Basecamp demographics match the US, where Europeans are the majority ethnicity.
