Thank you for your article and the links.
Regarding TailwindCSS, I can't comment as I don't know, nor use it, and I don't care about it at the moment.
Regarding the other issues, I would rate them as very sensitive.
Even so, I think it's a good reason to talk about it.
In General (Sexism & Racism):
Racism in general seems to be something we learn in our childhood through our environment, be it from strangers, friends or families.
This means that we have to unlearn it by questioning our bad feelings (anger, shame, defiance, etc.) towards situations or people (self-reflection is critical). That said, I believe racism affects all genders and I don't tolerate it (nobody should)!
I never really learned sexism towards women because my sister and mother are the dearest people in my life. I always encourage them to stand up against people who want to put them in this category because I want them not to live in fear or under unfair restraints, no woman should have to!
To "Adam Wathan's tweet at Sara Soueidan's tweet":
Unfortunately, the entire situation does not seem to have been handled professionally and objectively.
"Adam himself stated that he was unbothered by the article itself, but rather held Sara accountable for daring to not only agree with the criticism, but to share that with her audience."
In that case, he should have turned to Sara Soueidan with pointing out the issues.
"...use their influence to spread negativity..."-Adam Wathan's tweet
is just not good enough as an argument in my opinion. It's more of an accusation.
There are parts of racism and sexism that are learned (expressed as bigotry and prejudice) and the rest of it is subtly woven into our lives. It's where we benefit and others are oppressed and we miss how we are taking advantage of systemic biases and inequities.
Call out behaviors that capitalize privilege and/or oppress or exploit marginalized folks. The onus should be on all of the people engaging in and enabling those behaviors to recognize what they are doing and work towards 1) making it unacceptable behavior by holding others accountable for it equitably and 2) thinking before they act to consider if their behavior actually is just and acceptable.

I'm not going to deny that there is systemic prejudice, but the question is how to get rid of that. What options are available?
