I'd like to bring the opinion of someone that's black in this issue:

>Reading a thread of white people, including the CEO of GitHub,
advocating changing the name of the "Master" branch to make black devs
more comfortable... is the most racially uncomfortable I've ever felt
about GitHub.

>Reasoning: Living as a black person is not to constantly remember how
different you are but how different other people believe you are and how
that changes your experience.
>Now I can't even say "push to master" w/o the paranoia everyone around
me's thinking about me being black.
So congratulations, white saviors, you just made things awkward for
actual black people in the community. You keep treating minorities as if
they are children. You don't actually respect them. You don't actually
listen to them. This is what you do, you just create a greater divide.
You just single them out.
