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.

“comes from a culture that lies about everything”

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

White people get really triggered by uppity brown people.

That was what I was responding to since the comment of Shaun was about the religion

It’s literally a virtue to lie if it advances his Islamist agenda
