The Racism which happened in FOSS (beehaw.org)

Hello, so a few days ago now, a lot of Racism happened in FOSS and we were wondering what happened to those that were racist by defending the cultural appropriation which was pointed out, either directly or by ridicule.

Sadly the original post (and thus the comments) is gone, though we saved screenshots of all the offending people and posts.

We would like to know if anything was done about these people as we can see nothing in the modlog.

Thanks.

I don't have anything to add to the specific arguments made in the screenshots since I don't personally use AAE (though my wife's family does). I just wanted to clarify that if you have reason not to assume best intentions, then I don't think you should.

I'm just used to a lot of discussions beginning with hostilities these days, and I see it and have to deal with it everywhere. I really just wish that would all stop (not you specifically since I feel there were other instigators in the thread in question), and feel like more reminders can't hurt.
