How a developer oriented conference can give one minute of screen time to a by now fully open, mask off, racist / fascist is beyond me. Does the Rails world don't know, or don't care?

Edit: it's his conference because the actual Rails conf banned him. Sad victory I guess.

It's his conference he made because he was banned from railsconf.

Okay, I'll bite. What did he do that's racist and fascist. And please provide receipts.

For reference, here are the definitions:

racist: a person who believes that a particular race is superior to others, or who discriminates against other races

fascism: any right-wing, authoritarian, nationalist ideology characterized by centralized, totalitarian governance, strong regimentation of the economy and society, and repression of criticism or opposition
