These racist slides[0] from Nicola Sanchez[1] have been circulating in some threads recently. Apparently (reverse) racism is nothing new[2] in this firm.<p>Also &quot;reverse racism&quot; is simply &quot;racism&quot; IMO. 
It takes effort to be always correct and totally PC when dealing with strangers who learned their social skills from years of flame-wars on usenet.<p>But this isn&#x27;t some disagreement of 2 developers who chip in their own time to support an open source project! A salaried VP of a global firm should know better and IMO be held accountable with stricter measures. She acts as a role-model within the organization. The fact that github hasn&#x27;t taken action and asked for her resignation illustrates that this kind of poisonous thoughts might be more pervasive and not just limited to one person in that company.<p>Can somebody with more internal knowledge of github shed light to why this is being tolerated?<p>[0] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;static2.businessinsider.com&#x2F;image&#x2F;56b3d2462e526543008b5049-705-529&#x2F;nicole%20sanchez-diversity-training2.png<p>[1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;in&#x2F;nmsanchez<p>[2] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hacked.com&#x2F;github-promotes-reverse-racism-sexism&#x2F;
Ask HN: Do you have to be racist to work at GitHub or does it help if you are?
