I think this is really the issue (and that goes way beyond racism, sexism etc). A lot of people are skeptical of open science...

We shouldn't treat it as a "movement" as this only makes it seem more elitist which is really the antithesis of what it ought to be...
-
But at the same time there are some who make it seem elitist & unforgiving to many people who are used to the status quo. It's not helping.
-
That said, I don't see a special responsibility of OS advocates to condemn this guy. Every decent person should condemn racists.

Both are true. K specifically uses OA to give him credibility. So if we want OA to be welcoming we should not defend him (occured in past) &
-
instead we should call him out.
-
And yes, there's tons of examples of elitism. Like you say. Hence why URMs need to be made to feel welcome and not like we're all like K.
-
I don't want to debate if it's a movement or a community or not because it's beside the main point: K uses OA to legitimise is racist ideas.
