That’s great!
Just to clarify for people who only read the headline: “Black Python Devs(BPDs) is a global community hoping to increase the participation of Black and Colo(u)red Pythonistas in the greater Python Developer Community” not the group that maintains the popular Python formatter known as Black.
Do the python people really call themselves “Pythonistas”?
Yes, yes we do.
Doesn’t it sound racist to promote people of only one skin color?
I find stuff like this a little bit condescending and cringe. But, at the end of the day I believe groups have the right to associate with who they please, I just won’t join any of these groups.
Racism is a Problem when certain groups do not get the same chances or their safety is in danger. In this case no one is at a disadvantage through their work, quite the contrary
No it isn’t racist anymore than consensual sex is rape. There is nothing adverse or hateful here. I wish groups like this didn’t exist. I wish women didn’t need to circle the wagons and create safe spaces and we could all participate in open source as peers. I don’t know if people troll with these sorts of comments or lack emotional intelligence. If you don’t want these divisions to exist then don’t be part of the problem.
I was at PyCon 2024 a few days ago where the founder of Black Python Developers gave a keynote talk. He talked about going to one gathering after another and being one of just a handful of Black attendees. Or how the few Black leaders are often asked to fill an impossible number of posts because there just aren’t enough of them to fulfill the demand. So yes, having an organization to help foster inclusion of people who are largely frozen out of the community is necessary. Someday this won’t be necessary, but for now it is.
I think so but society tends to disagree.
There is a term for it but I forgot what it is
