Parag Agrawal faces racist abuse after being appointed new Twitter CEO

Dec 1, 2021 107 Comments

Newly appointed Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal was racially abused on the platform soon after the announcement was made. Racists on Twitter hurled abuses denigrating him for his Indian origin. ‘Curry’ and ‘pajeet’ abuses were hurled at Parag Agrawal, who replaced Jack Dorsey as the CEO of the social media giant.

One racist called Agrawal a ‘curry muncher’, a derogatory racist abuse.

There were several users who made the same kind of abuse. ‘Curry’ is a racial slur hurled at Indians. While it initially revolved around westerners finding Indian food too spicy, it soon devolved into a racist abuse hurled at Indians.

Western racists hate on Parag Agrawal claiming he is Brahmin
There were some who claimed that Parag Agrawal is a Brahmin. Yet others called him a ‘Tamil Brahmin’. In reality, Agrawal is a North Indian Baniya.

  • If a CEO faces this kind of racism I’d like to know what other Indians face. But it’s ok for them, most of them have already sold their soul and self respect for US Dream! And don’t call me casual racist, I’m Indian ik people who complain about how isolated they feel but won’t come back coz money.

    • Well driving and purchasing power pointers I do agree somewhat. Roads in india ... Nothing to say.
      Other than that what I gather is basically in general nice and cordial people everywhere and less pollution and a lot of empty spaces to enjoy.
      Am I right more or less ?

    • Ehh guys just a reminder we can’t generalise things because it’s not possible. I admit for a sport car/ bike lovers like me US Canada seems to be heaven!
      I want an opinion, no trolling please. The kind of woke culture that has hit US, what is your opinion on raising kids there? See, Indian parents are very controlling specially at teen ages that’s why most of us end up doing something because we don’t lose focus (personal opinion not a fact), but how are things in US?
