The actual scientific diagrams were made with the purpose of 'demonstrating that bipoc are inferior'. It was outright phrenology, done in the 1800s, and has literally no basis in modern science!

How many times have you altered Firefox, though? Or Chromium? Or GIMP? Or any other large software project? Free as in freedom doesn't mean shit when codebases are so large as to be inscrutable and induplicable.
