1Password faced immediate backlash from customers this week over a $300,000 pledge in support of a Linux distro created by David Heinemeier Hansson, who has regularly published overtly racist blog posts that include comments calling for deportation of ethnic minorities in Europe.

    Probably around the time he started writing blog posts about how there’s too many brown people in London, or comparing Romani to invasive predator species?

    Being against a few horrible people doesn’t automatically make you a good guy…
