Isn't it all open-source?


Some projects have refused code from developers because they are Russian or Chinese. Just because it is open source doesn't mean it is unbiased, free from politics, and without racism.


some projects racially discriminate developers to avoid possible bias, politics, and racism? lolz


Guys, congratulations, you have become stars. I posted your dialogue on one of the Russian resources, and it was read by 117 thousand people. https://pikabu.ru/story/yandeks_opublikoval_iskhodnyie_kodyi...


They would argue they are discriminating based on nationality not race.

I can't see that argument working in a court of law...


>I can't see that argument working in a court of law...

Don't US(or any other country for that matter) laws discriminate based on nationality all the time?


Generally only the government is allowed to discriminate based on nationality (ie. for immigration), but private companies cannot.
