Incoming Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal, who will shortly replace Jack Dorsey as head of the far-left social media company, uncritically repeated a quote in 2010 suggesting that there should be no need to “distinguish between white people and racists.”
“If they are not gonna make a distinction between muslims and extremists, then why should I distinguish between white people and racists,” tweeted Agrawal, in quotes. It is unclear who he was quoting.
"If they are not gonna make a distinction between muslims and extremists, then why should I distinguish between white people and racists."

While anti-white racism has become common in many U.S. institutions, including its top corporations, Agrawal made his comment in 2010 — years before the Black Lives Matter movement would arrive to push American corporations even further towards the left on issues of race.

Relatively unknown in Silicon Valley until now, Agrawal was announced as Jack Dorsey’s successor shortly after the Twitter co-founder announced he would step down from his role after a six-year stint as its CEO.
Dorsey, who presided over the company’s shift from what his predecessor called “the free speech wing of the free speech party” to a platform that censors conservatives on a regular basis, including the banning of President Trump...

Does he not realize that he has outed humself as a racist?
This company will continue to be a bane until people stop using the dumb service. It is that simple.
Well that is a flying start at being a 100% moron.
.
The only reason Chinese people aren’t the rudest, most disgusting people is that Indian people exist.
He is a perfect example of a true racist...
Anybody that uses twitter should be required to make the walk of shame...
Why do some people hate whites so much? Does it come down to jealousy?
I hope I never see another link to anything twitter again on this forum.
Not my circus. Not my monkeys.
Because the Bible doesn’t say to enslave or kill anyone who isn’t a Christian like the Koran does.
Thats exactly it.
“If they are not gonna make a distinction between muslims and extremists, then why should I distinguish between white people and racists,”
He may have been making the point that you shouldn’t hold the many accountable for the actions of the few.
But it’s not clear who “they” are in that quote. Is he overgeneralizing, in an appeal not to overgeneralize? That would be ironic. And “white people” is not a group with a common set of principles or world view, so the parallel isn’t quite apt, except from the perspective a bigot.
Hey Parag, would you be ok if your daughter dated an untouchable? The caste system is why he’s here and not in India cleaning public toilets.
...and a bigot.
“If they are not gonna make a distinction between muslims and extremists, then why should I distinguish between white people and racists,”
I am really not seeing the issue with this.
if you are so stupid as to think all white people are racists, then you might also think all muslims are extremists.
this is a huge nothing
That’s almost like asking “do you walk to work or bring your lunch?”
There are plenty of blacks that associate Islam with terrorism.
He doesn’t care. No leftist cares about racism, they simply know their moral betters (us) find actual racism abhorrent so it is a useful charge to levy against us.
Froma an article about CEO Agrawal at NRO online:
Last year, Technology Review editor-in-chief Gideon Lichfield asked Agrawal how Twitter balances its efforts to combat misinformation with wanting to “protect free speech as a core value” and to respect the First Amendment.
“Our role is not to be bound by the First Amendment, but our role is to serve a healthy public conversation and our moves are reflective of things that we believe lead to a healthier public conversation,” said Agrawal, who has been CTO since 2017 and has worked at Twitter since 2011. “The kinds of things that we do about this is, focus less on thinking about free speech, but thinking about how the times have changed.”
