this is a relief. I was worried I was too anodyne or that I hadn't made myself clear enough.

maybe related to the fact that it seems to have been posted on hn. you probably don't want to read the comments. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4977...

Not sure if you're seeking to engage on your article. I largely agree what you're saying, don't be afraid to show someone the door. But the problem is that it's easy to label someone a racist and discard whatever they're doing/thinking without further discussion.

For example, your article mentions that DHH says Black people aren't native Brits but I don't see the word black in the article you're referring too, so you lost me there. I think in this day we should also stimulate "assume good intent" and honest pursuit of mutual understanding.

do read jakelazaroff.com/words/dhh-is... it's absolutely fair

That could very well be, don't know who that is

that's why I linked to that article - it explains it very fairly and helpfully I recommend you read it I would be being much more nuanced if this weren't such a clear cut situation
