I don't think he did abstract it that way; it's one point in a more holistic picture of Zhu's firing, which largely speaks against Zhu's own assertion that [investors such as Shah and Bicer] would be more comfortable with a white CEO: "You’re just pattern matching,” Zhu recalls telling them. “Your last 20 CEOs who went public, they were probably all Caucasian guys.” Note again that the same board replaced Zhu with his east-Asian partner, who also supported Zhu's ouster, and that each of the investors in question had funded other major start-ups with east-Asian CEOs.
