The short of it, DHH is racist. You don't need to go further than reading his own blogposts to see that.

RMS has been behaving in problematic ways as well.
Shoving this under "FUD from well-funded closed source software vendors" does not help. The F/OSS community needs to do better.
And maybe don't try to "younger generation" me. I may be closer to your age than you imagine.

@ar @krutonium @abmurrow @rperezrosario Q: Which language do all programmers know well? A: Profanity. So (tongue-in-cheek) fuck you for picking on DHH. 😂 I did not hear a single thing in the video you linked, that I found objectionable about DHH as a programmer or as a person. I, a nonbinary, pansexual person of color, have been called all kinds of unkind names, including racist ( for implying that some Koreans eat dog meat ). Some do, according to the Wikipedia, and my Korean friends. 😃
