We finally get another promising and actually open source RISC-V implementation among the sea of proprietary designs that just don't want to pay an ISA licensing fee, and this happens.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Oof. That's unfortunate. At least it looks like people are downvoting them for the most part
Nice, most of the bigoted comments went negative. Props to that community.
people seem to forget that it's the US backdooring every AMD and intel CPU, and that this one is open source. but most people are calling them out, so yeah.
I didn't read every comment but I didn't see a single racist one. Probably because they aren't. You're wasting your time, and wasting everyone else's. Advice: stop seeing racism everywhere.
On the other hand, it's a shame that people don't trust this open source initiative.
