@monsieuricon In this case, the apparent fact is that Russian-identified people are removed from maintainers without proper justification. The apparent conclusion is that they are removed solely because of their identity, which in this case is their ethnic identity.

Moreover, many "sanctions" by the government are racist in nature. Take for example how eager the US government is into blocking TikTok or Huawei, claiming that they "steal personal information," while Google and Apple, which are doing exactly the same things, are not into the debate, solely because the former are from China, while the latter are from the US.
