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 slinches said. You can't beat racism with racism. War lies in that directions. And, you are justifying assholes like Richard Spencer.

Every cause on every side has a ton of assholes. So the fact that Richard Spencer may be a dick is irrelevant.
And the point I keep making, which you and slinches keep sidestepping, is that the current environment fundamentally gives white men an edge, even today. So an extra scholarship, extra mentorship, and so forth for other people levels the playing field.
