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.
