Rafael Avila de Espindola, one of the top contributors to the LLVM compiler toolset, has cut ties with the open source project over what he perceives as code of conduct hypocrisy and support for ethnic favoritism. In a message posted to the LLVM mailing list, de Espindola said he was leaving immediately and cited changes in the community.
LLVM project founder, Chris Lattner responded; "I applaud Rafael for standing by his personal principles, this must have been a hard decision." Lattner also insisted that "it is critical to the long term health of the project that we preserve an inclusive community."

What's that got to do with it?
Place I know put in a blind selection policy to remove discrimination bias in resume selection for job positions. It worked. The selection bias was removed. They yanked it because they found that people were discriminating for women and minority groups. When blind resume selection with sex, age, race and background were removed less minorities and less females were selected. The percentage of white males selected increased.
Go figure.

He needs to do gender diversity and sensitivity testing. Err training. Again. This time with electrodes strapped to what's left of his balls. After that he can walk around for a week with a cloth wrapped around his head to gain a true appreciation for diversity. In Afghanistan.
