I would assume people downvoted because your comment didn't add anything of any value, and comes off as sounding quite racist. (In addition, he's austrian[0])

I know he's Austrian, and I can't help that it sounds "quite racist".

It's how people referred to him at Acorn, then ARM.

I worked with a number of them at Tadpole during the early-mid 90s, and got to meet Hauser once, at the Oveletti lab.
