Remember that Twitter thread gone awry I mentioned? In it, I cited to them the very history you cited to me to explain how Tiki would not be what it was without the significant contributions of AAPI folks. I even shared historical documents and more recent articles.

Remember, I may be new to TC (at least as a poster), but I am not new to Tiki.

However, I would definitively say, and can prove it (but would rather move forward than go back) there is problematic, exclusionary behavior even right here on TC. There's an entire thread that starts with something I find horribly offensive. In the now, not related to the past, or more accurately a fantasy past that never existed. It really shocked and upset me. I even took a few weeks or longer off from TC because I felt excluded. I know rationally it wasn't intended that way, and I chose to let it go without further comment, but if I see its like again, I will say something.
