Looks like someone added a CNAME record pointing https://www.nyu.edu to https://dsvdfvx64.github.io, but https://github.com/dsvdfvx64 is 404. I wonder how one can use GitHub Pages while the corresponding username doesn't exist.

It wasn't 404 before. It has probably been reported to GitHub and banned by them. The user only had that one repository though.

This is awful. Who does this? Racist screeds and divisiveness seem to be growing unchecked and it's really worrying.

And if you point it out on HN you get downvoted by "red pilled shape rotators" these days.
