To the Leadership of Sequoia Capital,
We, the undersigned global founders from across the tech industry, are writing to demand immediate and decisive action in response to the unacceptable conduct of your partner, Shaun Maguire. His recent post on X on July 4, 2025, along with a documented pattern of anti-Muslim rhetoric over the past two years, has caused significant harm to the global tech community.
Stop making shit about race or skin
What do you think he meant by that ?
How the logic of his statement works seems very plain to me, we’ve seen that a million times.
Yes Shaun Maguire is a racist, that’s obvious. Heck he specifically mentioned the Islam.
But that doesn’t mean people should continue this trend by saying crap like this
That was what I was responding to since the comment of Shaun was about the religion
I’m specifically aiming at the “a culture that…” bit.
That the same logic with different garbs. It doesn’t become ok because it’s a “culture wink wink”.
It’s the same weapon used the same way with a tiny lil’ tweak to try dodge criticism.
This is transparent and should not be fooling anyone.
Sorry it seems you’ve stepped into the wrong timeline.
No, people need to stop making shit about race or skin if you want to beat racism. We are all people in the end.
That’s a much better way to explain your point. Thank you for clarifying.
Yeah, sorry, my bad. I changed the original comment as well
you’re preaching to the choir here.
