I don't think the interviewer intends to portray Arrington as a racist. I don't think a reasonable person looks at this interview and conclude that Arrington is racist. I think Arrington himself probably misses the point here. At worst, he's "reverse racist", in the sense of affirmative action. I don't understand why it is alarming that African Americans are underrepresented in Silicon Valley. They are also underrepresented in the NHL too. Is that a problem? Or for that matter, Asians are way underrepresented in the NBA. Is that a problem? It's just the way things are. Now if an Asian guy shoots like Michael Jordan and can't get a job in the NBA, then we have a problem. Or when a black guy has a great idea for a tech company, and can't get funded, then we have a problem. But you shouldn't simply invest in a company because the founder is black. That ain't right.
