Fair enough, I understand all of that. If his language and behaviour are solely as a result of his disease, then I fully agree. All I want is clarification of whether or not that is the case. Just because someone is schizophrenic, doesn't mean they can't be a racist. And many companies would find it impossible to work with someone who genuinely holds those kind of views. Heck, if ycombinator effectively endorses those views, without knowing if they are genuinely held, many will feel uncomfortable working with ycombinator.
- catshirt 12y agoi almost don't want to get involved in this, and i don't intend to take sides, but wouldn't many companies find it impossible to work with someone "disingenuously" racist as well? i am hearing that incontrollable spouts of racism should be overlooked if the person is "not actually racist". something doesn't add up to me. are racist jokes ok? i'm just trying to say this is complicated. taking either side of this argument seems short sighted.
