I'm pondering on whether we perhaps should make today kick-out-the-nazis-from-our-online-communities-day. I mean, it would be nice let them know they're not welcome here
So let's say you find someone writing things like this, we wouldn't want this person around would we?
Or would you like to have this person saying these kind of things in your community? (And there's plenty of more where that came from, but I think you get the point)
So why am I bringing up this disgrace to humanity?

Because it's the same person who also writes as @ico_tc. I frequently get mentioned together with this vermin and I'm sick of having him be associated with me or the community where I spend a lot of time and effort.
Why now? I've been meaning to do this for a long time but haven't had the energy or strength to handle the inevitable backlash. But seeing how the community stood up against transphobia last year made me very happy and confident that we can take a similar stand against racism.
I have spent a lot of time and energy around the open source silicon communities and there are so many good people here but we want more people. I hate to think that someone who's entering the field would come across this scumbag first and think that this is accepted behaviour
So, to sum things up:

Fuck this guy and people like him
