In April 2024, an Indian-origin customer named Bhuwan Chitransh complained about a defective MacBook skin on Twitter. Dbrand responded by mocking his surname with the tweet: “Your last name is basically shit rash, be serious.” […] CEO Adam Ijaz acknowledged the remark as a “severe lapse in judgment”

Holy shit that’s an understatement!

    Absolutely, but it still feels like there is booze involved.

    Booze helps it slip out. At least in a there was no catch for this kind of racism.
    
    The catch is like us learning our inherent biases and growing from it. I just don’t have a better term for it
