Because.. why excluding people based on their skin color is discriminatory, but including people based on their skin color is not discriminatory?
So, yeah, it's a political issue, but an open source project is necessarily a political entity by virtue of being made of people. You can't escape making political decisions, and since "inclusivity" mostly just means being nice to people, I can't complain much.
In other words, "not excluding" implies not asking for color skins.
They have talks, documentation is awesome, examples may even run online, ide stuff is cool, In my opinion, it hard to be more welcoming than that, and special treatment based on any individual traits (except for "what OS you're using" and stuff) would not only be unneeded, but also should be repelled ([subjective] personal value).
> the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex.
Is it unjust to make sure people from a minority do not feel alienated?
I do, really do, belive this should just boil down to: - don't be a jerk - don't discriminate
That's what we thought before Rust came, that you could only have safety if you sacrificied speed. But now we know it was wrong ;)
Secondly, one can't be sure that others won't feel alienated. You just put them in a different classification. I would definitely tend to feel alienated..
