That is plenty humiliating. I'm pretty sure there was an ultimatum from like Google+Facebook to accept the cult of political correctness, or be cast aside. They would have had a replacement for his role ready, and the threat of a persistent smear campaign if he refused.

His employer is the Linux Foundation. It's run by most of the big SV tech companies.
