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

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.

I don't think they tested it at all

[–] HardlightCereal@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 11 months ago

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

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Bumblefumble@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] MBM@lemmings.world -3 points 11 months ago

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

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

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

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
