Jack non-apologizes for his tone deaf Myanmar vacation tweets
Add Jack Dorsey's name to the running list of white men who have issued non-apologies in 2018.
On December 8, the Twitter CEO shared reflections on his recent meditation retreat to Myanmar, a country whose army is killing and raping Rohingya Muslims "with genocidal intent."
Some criticized the blind-eyed and tone deaf seeming thread in the days that followed. Now, Dorsey has issued what he called "more color" on his trip to Myanmar "given the resulting conversation."
I’m aware of the human rights atrocities and suffering in Myanmar. I don’t view visiting, practicing, or talking with the people, as endorsement. I didn’t intend to diminish by not raising the issue, but could have acknowledged that I don’t know enough and need to learn more.
