Re: The promote discrimination while claiming to fight it

I must side with de Espindola.

The code of conduct mentions "race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour, immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family status, political belief, religion or lack thereof, and mental and physical ability"

It shouldn't. No one should ask or care about any of these in the context of a technical project.

Also, "violations of this code outside these spaces may, in rare cases, affect a person’s ability to participate within them", is an open door for unfair and prejudiced firing of a member you dislike.

As for Outreachy, there is no such thing as positive discrimination, in the same way there is no such thing as cultural appropriation.
