In before snide insinuations that Outreachy is "literally worse" than the KKK and other White Supremacist groups.

At least they don't give a bad rep to Tiki torches, so there is that.

Outreachy is a sexist and racist progam that discriminates against people based on their sexual orientation, gender, and race since it includes only certain people while excluding others.
Also the program is a waste of money, it throws money and get nothing of value in return.
It produced some crudely drawn, scary looking really shitty cartoon drawings.

The project really ought to be shutdown and whoever responsible for it kicked out for wasting project resources.

I'm here to stand up for the rights of bearded, middle-aged white dudes! This benign attempt to make the FOSS community a little more inclusive is an outrage!

Because discrimination based on things like race, gender and sexual orientation has always been such a great way to promote diversity of those aspects...

Nietzsche once said that "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster" and I get the distinct feeling that the people who run and cheer on programs like this failed to do just that.

I'm telling my daughter to apply. 6,000 bucks is 6,000 bucks. College is expensive as hell, and most internships for 18 year olds don't pay hardly anything
