There was some pushback, so Drew addressed the haters on HN:
Many people in this thread take offense at the calls to (1) remove RMS because of his problematic behavior and (2) promote diverse people to leadership positions.
I will reply to all of these comments at once: get a fricking grip.
No one, including myself, is calling for RMS to be removed because he has the wrong skin color or s*x. He needs to go because he acts as if his demographics are the right demographics, and those who don't have those traits feel unwelcome and uncomfortable under his leadership. That's a problem with RMS, not with his demographic identity, and someone possessing his demographic traits (which, I presume, are probably shared with most of the commenters upset about this), but lacking his problematic behaviors, would be a welcome change.
As for the inclusion of more diverse leaders:
1. There is more than one leadership position at the FSF.
2. I am not calling for non-proportional representation, or for forcing proportional representation either.
If you feel threatened because someone called for a jerk who looks similar to you to be kicked out of a project, that's a personal problem. If you feel threatened by the prospect of being led by people who look dissimilar to you, that's a personal problem.
Again, to sum it up: get a grip. Jesus.
That's right, do better, chuds!

As a trans black woman I was GOING to go into coding until I was verbally assaulted by a white man (he said some racist shit like "hello"). Now I am terrified to leave my house and can no longer pursue my dream of programming. Please give me money.

I think this was something that happened almost verbatim in the comedy industry.

The hello world framework is systemic racism in play. We need to do better

It echoes colonization where crackers 'discovered' already populated lands, it should be replaced with a land acknowledgement
