  • Racism is the -ism of race — the idea that race is one of the (or the) most important traits of a person.
    That through race, you can assume things about them like their worth, how you should treat them, how they act, feel, etc.

    The way I see, all of these -isms are all like that (sexism, nationalism, etc).

    So no, it’s not racist to call yourself white. It would be racist, though, to say you’re worth more or less than others because of your being white.





  • For years he’s been saying things things that white supremacists love to hear: White people are being replaced; legal and illegal immigrants are ruining the US; George Soros hates the west and wants society to collapse (anti-semites love that one); immigrants are dirty, uncivilized; a race war is imminent; anything done to acknowledge racism is racist; BLM protests were violent riots; mass-shooters with racist manifestos aren’t white supremacists; etc.

    There are several instances of him associating with and boosting white supremacists online, and even his show’s long-time top writer was pressured to quit after explicitly racist online posts came to light.

    This page does a fairly good job of cataloging the sorts of rhetoric he’s used that’re amicable to white supremacists.


  • For somewhat larger projects, I think the OS Haiku is a perfect example. It isn’t a benevolent dictatorship, there is no single leader — there are just long-time contributors. If you send in contributions substantive or regular enough, there’s a good chance you’ll get push access. Patches generally are accepted with open arms, and devs with push access give constructive criticism on patches kindly. The OS is better for it!
