It isn't often I find a commit in a project that is rather offensive, racist, and works against the goals of the software development community to be reasonable, approachable, and welcoming to all types of people. The only reason to remove "The Elements of Style" by name is that it is objectively wrong, and subjectively dry as fuck. Go use AP or Chicago instead.

I think they meant (Strunk and) White Supremacy.

  If you think that the words "white supremacy" in that commit message allude to Strunk and White (maybe in a tongue-in-cheek way), then how does "people of color" fit into this?

    to clarify, it was a joke

      Thank you. I completely missed that.

Back in school I often used my native dialect of math all the time, the professor was racist though, probably a supporter of white supremacy or something, and required the standard dialect. It warms my heart the times have changed. Now I want to see more doctors who studied anti-racist ways in medical school because that's what's important for me when someone's performing an open heart surgery.
