‘Why Should I Distinguish Between White People And Racists’: New Twitter CEO’s 2010 Tweet Comes Under Fire

After Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey announced his intentions to step down from his role at the social media giant, he stated that the company’s new CEO would be former Chief Technology Officer, Parag Agrawal.

Almost immediately after the news broke, one of Agrawal’s past tweets surfaced which critics describe as both racist and indicative of a political bias which is likely to continue under Agrawal’s leadership.

In October 2010, Agrawal tweeted, in quotation marks, “If they are not gonna make a distinction between muslims and extremists, then why should I distinguish between white people and racists.”
