Stupid bit of code but to call it RACISM is a bit much
Racism doesn't require malice. Something can still be racist in effect, without intention.
But also the Tweet is probably tongue-in-cheek.
They clearly didn't test this rule with a variety of cultures. They probably only tested it against white names.
I don't disagree with you, but I know someone with the last name Øe, and that's very much a white name.
I tend to just mentally replace 'white people' with 'white Americans'
I don't think they tested it at all
