We're not talking about posting "your own writing", we're talking about comments (and presumably documentation) in a collective software project. There's a need for consistency, however it's specified and achieved. Otherwise why stop at English? I could just as well write my comments in French if it's all about individual freedom. Requiring English is not inclusive, it forced people like me to painfully adapt to a language I wasn't used to. And that has nothing to do with "white supremacy".
