Comment on Your Racist Linux Distro Is Very Nice (Scott Jennings)parent

Comments

I am concerned actually, and Tommy is a racist.

I guess my question there is, is DHH ignorant to who Tommy really is, or is it a full endorsement.

More likely than not a full endorsement, given DHH's multiple references to notoriously and openly racist "The Camp of the Saints", or this quote:

standing idly by while your livestock is devoured by predators or your neighborhood is taken over by migrants

Tommy isn't even the most serious contender for the ethno-nationalist politics (remigration and nativism) being pushed in the more fringe parties here in the UK.

My read on DHH is that he's simply a sheltered 40 something rich guy who just has the most surface takes on political things, mainly influenced by whatever he sees on Twitter. He lives in Malibu, CA for one thing. If you're working in tech in California you'll definitely be working right along with many engineers from China or India. Both of which would be marked as non desirable by nativist parties in the UK.

Hell even himself as a Dane would be.
