My problem is that this is an American company trying to impose their culture to us. There are a lot of developers from China and India whom Github didn't even consider asking.

Question is why should "we" who face far worse challenges than the Blacks in US be asked to change the name. That is what doesn't make sense to me.

The idea imposition happens just because we are a poor country and nothing else. I am sure 20 years down the line, if I don't follow an American culture I will be a villain.



Why is the change of the name of the default branch such a hardship for you?

Also how do you quantify far worse challenges? Are you treated worse relative to your other country people?


Far worse challenges. How about impoverishment? I am still stumbled how Github has managed to make a fool out of Americans. I thought at the very least these first world country people are educated enough to not fall for propaganda


So are you discriminated against in your country? Is GitHub based out of your country? Is it possible for a company to do more than one thing?


What is the problem for you about the name change?


"Ah, its just a name change" I have been hearing this since I was born from the west to impose their culture onto us.

And let me tell you whats worse. People like you who think they are doing good supporting it.


Can you at least elaborate why you are opposed to the name change? Otherwise you're coming off as someone who's just opposed to the West
