Ok, that's fair. Here's an article from Wired where there are people of color on both sides of this issue: https://www.wired.com/story/tech-confronts-use-labels-master...

From the article, I don't believe this is "the opinion of a white guy":

Being a highly paid software engineer, like most of you reading this, did not stop a bully van flying up the curb I was walking on and 7 City of London police officers pinning me against a wall with guns in my face. They wouldn’t believe it was possible for someone like me to work in central London till one of them searched me and found my work ID. All this because I fit a description. What was this description? I don’t know, black male between 4’11 and 7’4 probably.

I was talking specifically about the link in parent comment. https://mokacoding.com/blog/main-vs-master-xcode-12/

My bad, thanks for pointing that out.

I read this whole article, super disappointed. Its nothing but a bunch of assertions about something being offensive without even a small effort to show why it is. This just perpetuates the idea that this is just virtue signaling and has no effects.

The person your parent linked to is a white guy, who also links to the Twitter account of another white guy.
