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.

White people get really triggered by uppity brown people.

Stop making shit about race or skin if you want to beat racism

Edit: The post is about people who are anti-Islam, an increasing trend about a growing religion. It has nothing to do with the colour of people's skin. Making it about that doesn't help get more to realise that racism is wrong. Generalising all white people will put some people off from going against morons like Shaun Maguire.

Sorry it seems you've stepped into the wrong timeline.

[-] Vinstaal0@feddit.nl 6 points 2 weeks ago

No, people need to stop making shit about race or skin if you want to beat racism. We are all people in the end.

[-] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

That's a much better way to explain your point. Thank you for clarifying.

[-] Vinstaal0@feddit.nl 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, sorry, my bad. I changed the original comment as well

you're preaching to the choir here.

[-] Vinstaal0@feddit.nl 1 points 2 weeks ago

Well probably, but having the discussion about what is acceptable and not is a discussion we should have to make the world a better place.
