It is not racism. Racism doesn't have logical grounds.
Not liking reiserfs does.
I have actually used it, and got fed up with it when it killed the
partition I used it on.
It looks like once your filesystem is messed up beyond what a journal
replay can fix, you're pretty much on your own.

That's not the case.
You know how many Red Hat developers are working on GNOME and gtk?
I clearly prefer KDE and Qt (which I probably wouldn't admit if I were
pushing everything developed here).

Agreed.

Not really. It works nicely while it works, but once something breaks,
it's very hard to recover.
ext3 is much better there - since it is just an extension of ext2, all the
(very reliable by now) tools for ext2 recovery can be used.
Last time I checked, reiserfs couldn't be used with software raid, and
the format of its journal changes with every couple of releases; it's not
(yet) what I'd call stable code.
It's nice for a toy box.

It will be included when/if it matures.
