There are actual slave markets in Libya where you can buy and sell Africans right now, yet these people are silent on the matter, far easier to do a few empty gestures for feelz.

In most of the middle East you can get yourself a house boy or girl for a fee with their passport. Then pass them on to someone else for a fee with their passport. They are suppose to be an adult but most are clearly children with doctored documents. Facebook were caught out having this market on their site and there is even an app for it. There was a Beeb documentary on it I think last year but I'm sure a channel like Al Jazeera reported on it before that.

Even worse you can also bring your "servant" into the UK and they aren't allowed to work for anyone else while they are on the country. This last bit has been going on for decades.

Just Western civilisation disappearing up it's own A-hole, nothing to see please move along.

These people are a walking cliche, so much so the Chinese have a name for them, Baizuo.

a sarcastic reference to those whose political opinions are perceived as being guided by emotions or a hypocritical show of selflessness and empathy

I am amazed that nobody speaks about equal rights of the users. Why some people are "admins" and some are not?

Administrator that word was used as part of empire it should be banned.


They are a bit screwed on Brother as they sold them into slavery.

The male and female one has me scratching my head - as there's no suggestion there that any one is "less good" than the other!

I guess there's people that don't like the idea of inserting the male end of a cable into a female socket. It's reinforcing a gender stereotype.

Now VMWare are on the bandwagon

VMware to stop describing hardware as ‘male’ and ‘female’ in new terminology guide • The Register

VMWare must have hired a diversity/gender consultant who is now busily trying to justify their salary.

VMware to stop describing hardware as ‘male’ and ‘female’ in new terminology guide • The Register

A message about the IT giant's “Offensive Terminology Effort,” sighted by The Register, recommends that when referring to hardware and cabling, “female” should be replaced by “jack” or “socket” while “plug” should be used instead of “male”. The company hopes that “she” and “he” will be replaced by “they”

So clearly it's also racist to let anybody be an owner of a repo now then. Anybody who owns a repo needs to take a long hard look at their life and realise just how big of a racist piece of tulip they are! All code repos must no longer have ownership. Everybody must be able to make any changes as they see fit, it's for the good of the people!

[NotAllThere]

I really don't understand this, the use of the term master isn't inherently racist.

GitHub abandons 'master' and 'slave' terms to avoid row - BBC News

"The master-slave relationship in technology usually refers to a system where one - the master - controls other copies, or processes."

Someone, somewhere. make this tulip stop.

It's not going to stop. These people want power over other people that they have not earned, have not been granted and neither deserve; it's a coup and our governments/civil servants want this to happen so that they too can exert this power indiscriminately.
