The new Twitter CEO is already facing racism claims, after a 2010 tweet resurfaced in which he appears to call all white people racist.
In the tweet, published on October 26, 2010, Parag Agrawal, an Indian-American man who was named as Jack Dorsey’s successor on Monday, wrote: ‘If they are not gonna make a distinction between Muslims and extremists, then why should I distinguish between white people and racists?’
The tweet was apparently quoting comedian Aasif Mandvi, who had appeared in an episode of The Daily Show in a segment pitting black people against Muslim people, playing on the irrational fear of the two minorities.
