Is Tech Crunch Racist?
I justed tried to make a couple of posts as my real E. Indian name of Vipin Singh, they moderated me out, but as a white name, they left my comments below. check out my copy of the posts here. I can’t believe a reputable blog like the Tech Crunch is Racist. But I just proved it’s moderators are, so they are for sure. I am published a number of times just now as Chris Thompson, my Christ Thompson posts call them on it (They are also below in my comments). These are under the Ballmer post of May 4th, here is the URL. Racist TechCrunch

Every once a while, when I see this kind of BS on techcrunch, I’m tempted to remove TC from my subscription list. However, the reason I keep reading TC is that some of you guys at TC are still doing some great reports.
But, please fire those incompetent writers who can not report. They are hurting TC’s credibility.

Is Tech Crunch racist? I just posted as a White name and they made my post. But my two posts as an E. Indian got disqualified. Wow, Tech Crunch racist against E. Indians?

@ Allison - do you really believe that all deals must close successfully? That just isn’t sensible. How do account for unrealistic buyers?

Tech Crunch is racist, how do I know? They are moderating my comments, when I use an E. Indian name, My own name. When I use a non-Indian name, they don’t moderate my comments. Wow, a blog will hit the air ways tomorrow. This is crazy, in this day and age. Arrington, do you know what is going on here?
MORE PROOF, I HAVE BEEN POSTING ON TECH CRUNCH my sentiments here. But no answer from Arrington. Is this their racial policy? Here are some comments, and by the way folks, this blog was indexed by Google in 12 minutes the fastest I have ever seen a blog get indexed on Google. Way to go Google:

Will this post make it through? Hey Tech Crunch moderator, are you a racist against E. Indian Names, the CEO will hear about it tomorrow, and Arrington too. What is up dude?

I mean, seriously, how about “He’s played this perfectly from start to finish”
and it isn’t over yet.

I think they should spend 5% of that buy out cash on marketing and I think they would do alright.
lets face it, if they started sponsoring Nascar, F1, football, TV spots they might pick up the market that Yahoo owns. Yahoo visitors are the average internet users so they don’t care about microsoft past.

Yahoo users are not typical users. Yahoo users tend to be the least tech savvy users. Have you not read the profile of a non-tech savvy user yet? They use Yahoo.

It’s over, a racist organization trying to hide between the white lines. It’s over, Microsoft is way better than any Valley company will do! Arrington, can you explain my previous comments?

41 are you joking? you think there are the that many tech savey users in the world.
yahoo is a mainstream portal at the end of the day.

Despite the big news today, it seems Erick feels that its a slow news day (which it may be), but posting drivel like this is not to be expected from credible (tech) news sites.
As if to emphasise your bias, your options on the poll just left me aghast, and that was before I noticed that you linked to THAT earlier Gartner story!
At times like this it’s just best NOT to post.

No, C’mon. Everyone knows that Yahoo users today are like the AOL users of the past. They are not the coveted tech savvy fans of Google.
Also, did you notice that I have to be White to comment here? Is this how America got here? I have been in the US for 27 years this weekend. I think America is still the best country in the world, even though it has racist organizations like Tech Crunch. Sad that I have to say this about one of my favorite websites. I will still read it often, but keep them honest.

None of my E. Indian posts but the one named “Rakesh Sharma” made it through.
Yahoo is main stream, but within the main stream there are the technorats, the coveted crowd, the Type A’s. The older crowd is what Yahoo has as it’s main group. But other properties such as MyBlogLog and Flickr are a very important asset for distribution and traffic.

By the way Joe, I use to work at Gartner for 3 years. So my E. Indian comments were smart, and I do live in Seattle. Though not a huge MS fan. I really did want MS to buy Yahoo.
MS should pursue a hostile bid, as Yahoo shares crash on Monday and this week, MS will continue it’s accumulation.

@Chris yes we are basically saying the same thing, I miss read but please stop banging on about racist stuff, maybe its the wordpress spam plugin thats stopping your comments.
I very much doubt they give a damn where you are from in the world or what race you are.

He deserves credit for walking away. A lot of dumb acquisitions happen when CEO ego drives companies to overpay, though Microsoft’s offer was probably too high, as we’ll see when YHOO shares settle on the ocean floor next week.
Chris Thompson Your comment is awaiting moderation.
