Stupid bit of code but to call it RACISM is a bit much

[-] darq@kbin.social 45 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Racism doesn't require malice. Something can still be racist in effect, without intention.

But also the Tweet is probably tongue-in-cheek.

They clearly didn't test this rule with a variety of cultures. They probably only tested it against white names.

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 21 points 2 years ago

I don't think they tested it at all

[-] HardlightCereal@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Sometimes "testing" is just "hmm, yeah I can't think of any problems this could cause". I like to call this thought experiment testing. All features get thought experiment tested, because everyone has at least some level of critical thinking. The thought experiment tester who allowed this wasn't thinking of Asian names.

I'm still wondering who came up with the idea in the first place. Why not allow last names with less than three characters?

[-] Pizzasgood@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

My guess is that it was meant to prevent the use of initials.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

They didn't even think about it. You're damned right they didn't test it.

[-] Bumblefumble@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I don't disagree with you, but I know someone with the last name Øe, and that's very much a white name.

I tend to just mentally replace 'white people' with 'white Americans'

[-] chimasterflex@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Hanlon's razor comes to mind. A lot of ignorance went into writing this website

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Without knowing the person and how they post, it's hard to say if they're being serious or just joking

[-] EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Hi, I actually happen to be that person in questions and I can assure you that everything I say online is either a lie or sarcasm
