The "joke" occurred shortly after Arianna made a "white men" "joke". I doubt he would have made his comment if she hadn't first made a similar comment that prompted that sort of kneejerk retort among two colleagues on familiar terms who are both at least two or more generations removed from the average tech worker. Arianna is 66 and Bonderman is 74.

That said, the comment was still inappropriate.

- erroneousfunk 9y ago"My goal was to increase the diversity of the board, much though [sic] I love my white male colleagues" Then she starts talking about diverse hires on the board. Not sure how it was a joke. I don't think anyone would have raised an eyebrow at that. It wasn't derogatory at all.
