The man is married to a black woman and has a biracial child with her who will be seen as black by and large. It is a personal issue to him.
But even if it wasn't a personal issue to him, I'm more disturbed by the number of people who 100% fail to engage with an issue and dismiss it as virtue signalling, as if a person couldn't authentically care about the issue.
Yes, Ohanian is a rich guy, but by stepping away from his role at reddit, it is foregoing likely future income. He is going to spend time working on these issues. Why is that so easy to dismiss?
- s9w 6y agoWhy does he have to say that he's married to a black woman. That he has a black child. That he is quitting. That he's hiring a BLACKKK person etc. Just do it man, don't make a wave. Give money and do all those things. How about hiring the best person for the job and not one that brings you the most goodie points right now. And again Reddit is about the least controversial thing on the net. It's ridiculous to paint it as a "hateful" website (whatever that is).
- tasty_freeze 6y agoWhy does he have to say it? Because there are jerks out there who will dismiss his actions as virtue signaling. He is stating it is personal and he is committed. Do complain this much and call it virtue signaling if someone says they served in the armed forces and they love the flag?

Because he's trying to make a statement that racism is wrong, and because he wants the reasons for his resignation to be publically known, of course. Isn't that obvious?
