You might notice that a bullet list was removed and those example items
were added 18 months ago:

        https://wiki.postgresql.org/index.php?title=Code_of_Conduct&diff=31924&oldid=29402

I realize that putting no examples has its attractions, but some felt
that having examples would be helpful.  I am not a big fan of the
"protected groups" concept because it is often exploited, which is why
they are listed more as examples.

I suspect most of us could probably get behind the groups listed in the antidiscrimination section of the European Charter of Fundamental Rights at least as a compromise.

Quoting the  English version:

"Any discrimination based on any ground such as sex, race, colour, ethnic or social origin, genetic features, language, religion or belief, political or any other opinion, membership of a national minority, property, birth, disability, age or sexual orientation shall be prohibited."

The inclusion of "political or any other opinion" is a nice addition and prevents a lot of concern.
