The guy running the "Full Time Nix" podcast who goes by the names "mightyiam" or Shahar "Dawn" Or joined the SC election room last night to ask this.
This is bona fide bigotry, and he should be removed from this community.
But at the very least people representing the community should stop appearing on his platform.
I'll add another receipt to drive the point home. His profile on hachyderm was swiftly banned after this exchange.
Exchange on fediverse between cafkafk and mightyiam about "positive discrimination" where cafkafk writes a lengthy response and he dismisses it like this:
Shahar "Dawn" Or writes:
Thank you for sharing. Sorry, this sounds like woke
ideology to me. Full of fallacies and half-truths. | think it leads to ruin
cafikafk replies
I love your rigorous and thoughtful analysis on my woke
Shahar "Dawn" Or joins the room and immediately says "This is unacceptable", quotes "cisgender, male, White, European" from the response to a candidate question for the steering committee election and continues with "Please announce that such language will not be tolerated and disqualifyt the candidate".
