The reason the issue is important is that many of our potential
contributors have been driven away, and are now being driven away. This
hinders our tech development. Sorry, anywhere humans collectively do things
together is by definition "political".

Our discussion is all about furthering this project and the FOSS community
as a whole, so we can make good tech that suits the needs of all of us.

Why does race, gender etc. Even have to be discussed. More politics in a non 
political place. I'd rather talk about tech and furthering this project. This 
is ridiculous.

Language barrier problem. Unlike in English, in German, the literal
translation of the term "race", i.e. "Rasse", has a different meaning than the
English term "race". In particular, the German term "Rasse" cannot and must
not be applied to humans, but only to animals.
