It's unlikely there is anyone in a position of authority in Rust consciously and nefariously excluding black folks and other people of color, but there doesn't need to be. It's a self-reinforcing problem that requires conscious effort to address. I'm a (nonblack) minority, and I tend to actively avoid participation in groups where I know I'm not likely to be understood in important ways. It can be pretty fucking exhausting being the only X

And I am not sure what does the Rust Foundation has to do with self-reinforcing problems stemming from racism. Moving the goalposts all the way to the skies is why we can't have productive discussions in many venues of life, sadly.
