I'm not sure what SJW or "woke" means in this context. They cancelled a black man because they felt "discomfort" over him being the keynote speaker.

- calibas 3y agoWhy? Am I to believe the Rust leadership is so enlightened they're incapable of racial discrimination? There's a reason people don't want to talk about racism, and it's not because it doesn't exist anymore...
