Yes, I recommend reading the comments on this article, they're interesting. When a commenter argued that the fee is unfair toward minorites, OP replied:

> What is it about minorities that makes you believe they have less propensity to make the donation? That’s blatantly racist. If you know you are going to win $10k, then it shouldn’t matter to you. I’ll be happy to lower this to $100 in 6 months if nobody makes a submission.

That attitude is arguably more toxic than the typical Stack Overflow comment.
