There is some more context on a post[1] in /r/ruby, including the fact that the maintainers and others had been working on a proposal[2] for a formalized organizational governance structure as recently as yesterday. The latter also adds some context into Mike McQuaid's involvement: the proposal was influenced by the structure put in place by the Homebrew project.

Ok... wow. I was willing to give the benefit of the doubt, but hearing him decry the lack of "native Brits"[0] and support the Tommy Robinson march is... something.

> In 2000, more than sixty percent of the city were native Brits. By 2024, that had dropped to about a third.

Over the years, I saw him inching closer to white supremacy. I didn't realize that he's gone this far off the deep end, yikes.

In the linked article, DHH links out to a wikipedia article titled "Ethnic groups in London"[0].

He then uses a statistic that "only a third" are native brits in 2021, which roughly lines up with the "White British" line in the chart.

You can argue that "white supremecist" is a charged and problematic term, but I'd say that "Here he complains about too many brown people in London." is a fairly accurate representation of the article. I'd say "disgraceful slander" is a bit too strong as a rebuttal.
