Racist, Sexist maintainer should be removed from project

It’s sad that this is seen by many as a “progressive” and “healthy” perspective. On social media, I fear that most people who disagree with this perspective will not openly disagree with it because they do not have the mental energy at the end of the day to defend themselves against the ad hominem attacks that will follow. When did it become politically acceptable to openly shame a group based on the way they were born? If it were said about any other group besides “cis white males” it would be considered hate speech. Why is this tolerated?

I am perhaps a vocal minority, but I feel that the work a person does can be positive, even if we violently disagree with them personally. Noone should lose their job for personal views, no matter how abhorrant. If the person has comitted a crime, there is clear recourse.<p>Change my mind.
