Be careful with such actions or at least with admitting them.  I
remember when a guy on the Linux kernel list admitted to that sort of
thing (for Brazil?) and he probably felt like he'd been stampeded by a
gnu herd.  He had the bad luck to have especially offended the guy
who held the keys to a door he was trying to get through (a patch or
bug-fix or something) and who let the guy know the door was going to
stay closed to him.  Others expressed their displeasure in more typical
ways.  I don't recall if he was called a racist, but one should beware
the lawyers.
