>as an excuse
That part wasn't an excuse for harassment. And it also wasn't about programmers' salaries as justification. He was using rhetorical hyperbole to emphasize that the utilitarian benefit of Uber for brown and female riders is still true. That was a response to tyre's comment, "So now you have a company that isn't actually what it pitched itself to be.
Yes, harassment is harassment but it looks like yummyfajitas was responding to a specific business claim by tyre.
