As I said, the Wikipedia article is what the words "native Brits" links to. Here's the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_London Here's what the article says: > In 2011, it was reported for the first time that White British people had become a minority within the city How could you possibly come to the conclusion that it's not about race? Do you think he linked to the wrong article by accident?

His specific words were "it's no longer full of native Brits" with a link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_London Then he goes on to point out more than sixty percent of the city were "native Brits" in 2000, but that number corresponds to the White British categorization. Ergo he's conflating White British with native British. He also said "A statistic as evident as day when you walk the streets of L…

Zwarte Piet pissing on a tree is more of a Dutch Christmas tradition.

London has always been a hive of culture, he's just pining for the nostalgic times he wore onions on his belt and was blind to the depth of culture in London.
There have been Russians in London since before the USSR, not that DHH would have noticed unless they spoke given so few of those Russian were Asiatic or from the steppes.
His point was that he has now finally noticed changes and that he's had his eyes opened by the likes of Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon, Andrew McMaster, Paul Harris, Wayne King, and Tommy Robinson.

Hilariously he's talking about Londinium, a city founded and administrated by non native non British people as part of a foreign beachhead of control by a non British empire. "Native Britains" were excluded as residents or in tiny numbers for four centuries.

All of this sucks, and it’s time for the community to move on. It’s a bad look for the ruby ecosystem. Continuing to rehash, throw mud, and speculate at this point likely harms the greater community more than any “side” would “win”.

If I say "I love a [sweet treat](wikipedia.org/wiki/ice_cream)! It's so refreshingly cold on a nice hot day", there's just no intellectually honest way to claim maybe I meant apple pie. Do you understand? He's not talking about Russian immigrants because they're white. He is talking about Pakistani immigrants because they're brown. He's literally telling you what he means and you're choosing to ignore it. Why?
Perhaps there are, in fact, reasons to not say skin colour even when that's what you mean.

This post triggered the an attempt to cancel DHH: https://world.hey.com/dhh/as-i-remember-london-e7d38e64
DHH races sports cars with Shopify CEO Tobias Lütke. These two plus some pro-Israel and anti-immigration pals pushed out all the cancel culture guys that already tried to cancel DHH in 2022 after his no-politics fiasco at Basecamp.
That's how RubyGems landed in the hands of the only impartial arbiter Matz.
