You f*****g Asian piece of s**t.”, saying: “This was clearly a moment where I lost control and made incredibly hurtful and divisive comments. I would like to deeply apologize to the Chan family.”Lofthouse told the San Francisco Chronicle on Saturday: “I can confirm that I have stepped down from Solid8, terminating all business relationships with immediate effect. I will make it my duty to ensure my personal actions do not continue to have a detrimental impact on those people closest to me.
Ok I like how ppl like to point out Trump supporters who say racial shit. Understandable but can we also point out that blacks have been brutalizing Asians all over America since COVID started. I'm sure since no one will touch that .
Good! Love it! Just what I had hoped for, that he’d be forced out. Damn alcoholic, narcissistic, abusive racist thought he could get away with whatever he wanted. Karma can be a b*tch. MichaelLofthouse
Solid8io is no longer a startup as it was reported to have last raised $35Mil at Series C on crunchbase. Now that profile along with Solid8 corporate website are taken down. Racism and unprovoked hate have serious consequences!
CEO makan sendirian di restaurant hotel, fix sih pasti janjian date dari tinder tapi ga dateng cewe nya.

I was amazed at all of the people that said 'he's the CEO he's not going anywhere' as if the CEO of a small start up isn't totally in hock to investors. They are the ones that pull the strings and clearly is investors recognized the severity of his actions.
So is anyone going to insist he goes to a Asian Church or speak with Asian Elders to be educated
It does not follow that if you are highly educated and/ or holds a high position in an organization, you are effective and competent. This is the harsh reality, racist or not. I applaud the brave employee who defended those Asians. 👏👏👏 You are a hero 😊👍
Video for the win. BreonnaTaylor should still be alive.
Ew his apologies made my skin crawl. He’s not sorry at all.
Scary. Very scary.
I’m still shocked by this video. The only saving grace was that the waitress DID NOT FUCK AROUND in telling him where to go. All of us white folk should channel her energy in such situations.
So what dam What black guy never hinky got mad at a white dude and say Fu honky cracker as mf. That dint make him racis Uts what people say in heat of moment to make other person mad. Its wrong but not racist
Yah, the Chan family really wants to chat with you so you can apologize. You don’t care that what you did was wrong, you care that it cost you your job.
Hatred and Racism is more important than their livelihood.
Unfathomable. This isn’t an uneducated, stressed trailer park denizen hopped up on guns and god by right wing politicos. Guy just set fire to his life, willingly, to hate on strangers who did him no harm whatsoever. I will never understand.
Wow, imagine if the President of the United States was held to the same standard.
Despicable behaviour
