I don't see how that is fair.
1. PG claims he was joking, and doesn't actually believe what he said.
2. The article quotes him as if he truly believed this, when in fact he believes the opposite.
3. You claim that if PG's argument for why he doesn't believe it is wrong, then the quote is likely to be true even if PG didn't mean it, and therefore it's accurate to quote PG as if he did mean it. That last part makes no sense.
- igorgue 11y agoYou're entitled to believe him or not, to me it was racist and discriminatory and still is. Not to mention he had fucked up before talking against women and accents... The guy shows all the signs. I don't know him, he looks like a nice person... But I have no interest or encouragement into knowing him. Yeah, sure, data is on my side too, being a white nerdy male (look like Zuck) would do good on you guys' ghetto.

I didn't say that or even talk about those issues (other than saying that to speculate on PG's actual thoughts would be "a mistake"). Maybe that's why it makes no sense to you.
