Github plans to replace "racially-insensitive" terms

GitHub CEO Nat Friedman said the company is working on replacing the term "master" on its service with a neutral term to avoid any unnecessary references to slavery. Some of the terms which could be replaced include "master" and "slave" with alternatives such as "main/default/primary" and "secondary" respectively, and "whitelist" with "allow list" and "blacklist" with "deny/exclude list".

It's not a reference to anything except for computing bits and pieces. github should be a negative meme now and be taken the piss out of likewise. I thought it was supposed to be open-source, for anyone who can to go onto and code, fork and contribute, but it's closed and retarded, like the big closed companies.

GitHub, Inc. is a United States-based global company that provides hosting for software development version control using Git. In 2018, it became a subsidiary of Microsoft for US$7.5 billion.[3] It offers the distributed version control and source code management (SCM) functionality of Git, plus its own features. It provides access control and several collaboration features such as bug tracking, feature requests, task management, and wikis for every project.[4]

You mean they stole the main key? Wtf....
In the `1984` book George Orwell wrote that the language of the citizens was modified in such way that it was limiting their imagination and vocabulary and it was stopping people to think of any other concepts except of what they are allowed to think using only words they are allowed to. There were no words to describe things like `science` or whatever terms they were not allowed to know. If I remember right from the book, the practice of thinking of something you are not allowed was called `double-thinking` and was sinful or illegal, plain illiteracy. Exactly the same thing is happening now with this political corectness.

Prince Harry backs move to ban Swing Low, Sweet Chariot: Duke of Sussex signals his support for review of England rugby anthem linked to slavery despite huge backlash from fans

• Prince Harry signalled support for Rugby Football Union's review into the song
• He became patron of the Rugby Football League in 2016 when the Queen stepped back
• Swing Low, Sweet Chariot was written by a black slave in the American South in the nineteenth century

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8443231/Prince-Harry-backs-ban-Swing-Low-Sweet-Chariot.html

Coming for to carry the Black slave home? How is that a bad thing? It is about freedom, or death depending on what "home" means. One (bit of one) I always remember, thanks to Fresh Prince of Bel-air, is Wade in the Water. Of course, it is also a christian song about saving the Blacks from being enslaved (by christians?)... but yeah.

Maker of Eskimo Pie ice cream to drop name after 99 years

The owner of Eskimo Pie ice cream is set to change the product’s brand name. Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, the owner of Eskimo Pie, said, "We are committed to being a part of the solution on racial equality, and recognise the term is derogatory". The name "Eskimo" is used in Alaska to refer to Inuit and Yupik people. The brand joins others such as Aunt Jemima in overhauling names considered offensive.

Racial equality. What items and brands and products are named after White people? Racist bastards! Also - regarding these mascots, if they were based on and modelled on real people did these people find it offensive, derogatory, inappropriate, waycist, etc., when they were having their name/likeness being used in/as a brand? That's flattery, is it not? When will a "newly-discovered in the depths of the archives"-ly bunch of documents come out to say that these named persons protested and didn't want it?! :roll:

"Non-racist breakfast"? Are these clever people serious? Maybe I should have named this thread to include the words "beyond" and "retarded". Oh, wait - I did. The best way to make a non-racist breakfast is to go back to your own country and make it there. I'm thinking about moving millions of penguins to a desert, and millions of camels to one of the poles...

A Black Woman and Son were appologised to by a restaurant because the Son wore clothes against the dress code
A Baltimore restaurant group apologised after a video surfaced of a Black Woman and her Son being denied service because her 9-year-old Son was wearing clothes which did not adhere to their dress code. Marcia Grant is seen in the video being told by the Ouzo Bay manager that they would be unable to eat there. In the same video, a White Child, recorded eating, was wearing similar clothes.

Epic removed police cars from Fortnite due to BLM protests
Epic Games reportedly has removed police cars in its latest edition of Fortnite. As per the Wall Street Journal, this was in response to Black Lives Matter protests over police violence. WSJ quoted an Epic source which said that this wasn’t done to make a 'political statement', but instead the company was trying to be 'sensitive about the issues' players are dealing with.

The broader game industry has endorsed the Black Lives Matter cause, including a message in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and temporary shutdowns of GTA Online and Red Dead Online. Epic appears to be taking a milder approach with Fortnite, acknowledging the outrage without explicitly advocating for a cause. The company previously stressed that it wouldn’t ban players for political speech.

Copenhagen’s Little Mermaid was vandalised with graffiti - "racist fish"
The words "racist fish" were scrawled across the base of the Little Mermaid, the bronze statue honouring Hans Christian Andersen’s famous fairy tale, which sits on a rock off a pier in Copenhagen. Police have not yet identified the perpetrators. "I am having a hard time seeing what is particularly racist in the fairy tale 'The Little Mermaid'", a researcher at University of Southern Denmark said.

As BLM Reveals its Radical Agenda, Major UK Organisation Begins Distancing Itself
The BBC and other U.K. companies appear to be distancing themselves from the Black Lives Matter movement. For instance, officials at BBC have reportedly told their reporters not to wear BLM badges.

“The BBC cannot be seen to support any kind of cause over another, and Black Lives Matter is certainly a campaign”, an anonymous senior source at the BBC told The Daily Telegraph.

If you checked the links, you'd see a UK j/news site misspelling "apologise" deliberately. Is that jewmericanisation?! If Our Race is Our Nation, then DailyMail is RACIST! ( :roll: ) You would then see the same UK site spelling an -ise word correctly. Then in the same article in a bullet point, they misspelled it again. Come on, DailyMail. Talk about playing both sides, fake news, and sensationalist propaganda bullshit. Maybe "-ise" is rAyCiSt or oFfEnSiVe or CoNtRoVeRsIaL but "-ize" isn't? Why don't you try that on for 'sise'.

US Surgeon General's 4th of July message - wearing a mask means "more freedom"
Surgeon General Jerome Adams offered a Fourth of July message ahead of the holiday, making the case that wearing a mask means "we will actually have more independence and more freedom". This is the second time in a week that Adams stressed the need for masks. He implored Americans to wear masks, with a focus on younger Americans.

The Simpsons to stop using White actors and actresses to voice non-White characters
Producers for The Simpsons have said the programme will no longer use White actors for the voices of non-White characters. In previous years, the programme has been criticised for White-looking Yehubor actor Hank Azaria’s voiceover of Indian-American Apu. In January, Azaria said he would no longer be performing the voice of Apu, a role he had played since the character was created in 1990.
