Tech accessory company dbrand has canceled its Steam Machine Companion Cube enclosure effective immediately because it didn't ask Valve for permission to make it in the first place.
In April 2024, an Indian-origin customer named Bhuwan Chitransh complained about a defective MacBook skin on Twitter. Dbrand responded by mocking his surname with the tweet: “Your last name is basically shit rash, be serious.” […] CEO Adam Ijaz acknowledged the remark as a “severe lapse in judgment”
Holy shit that’s an understatement!
I hope they really gave that guy $10,000
My guess would be that it also involved more than a little bit of alcohol.
Probably racism
Absolutely, but it still feels like there is booze involved.
Booze helps it slip out. At least in a there was no catch for this kind of racism.
The catch is like us learning our inherent biases and growing from it. I just don’t have a better term for it
What you are describing requires a bit of introspection that many racists don’t seem to be capable of.
