&gt; People CANNOT be categorized based on skin color at all, AT ALL.<p>People are categorized in that manner every day.  Perhaps you&#x27;re trying to say that&#x27;s regrettable and inaccurate?<p>&gt; To identify even yourself as belonging to a distinct &quot;color&quot; is just a fabrication of American culture<p>Certainly, but it&#x27;s a culture which still exists.  It doesn&#x27;t go away just because you announce that it&#x27;s illogical and unfortunate.  I think you may be falling prey to the is-ought problem[1].<p>(To be clear, I&#x27;m not expressing a view on Github&#x27;s actions, but I think it&#x27;s somewhat naive to suggest that there aren&#x27;t real problems out there.)<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Is%E2%80%93ought_problem" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Is%E2%80%93ought_problem</a>
