For the idiots who need it spelled out, he's saying there are many muslims who aren't extremists just like there are many white people who aren't racists. Generalizing all muslims for their extremists is like generalizing all white people for their supremacists.
No, he's quoting a joke from a comedian at a show in reference to another tweet. Since this was more than a decade ago, threads didn't exist, and since the character limit was 140 back then, he had to change the quote slightly.

That wasn't a question. "Why should I" implies a statement.

It is a stupid tweet and it is a stupid argument to make, but I definitely don't agree with the outrage. I generally don't agree with social media outrage.

Dude, tried to make a point, but did it in a very clumsy way where interpreting racism from his words is fair game. Also, he was actually quoting something that was performed in a comedic fashion without naming who the quote belonged to or attempting any sort of comedic delivery. Partially this can be blamed on how twitter works, but he also knows how it works and sent out the stupid tweet anyways.

Oh well just carry on with your life anyways. It's not like anyone's life is ever really effected by a CEO's tweet from ten years ago.

Not at all. Anyone who interprets racism from that has to go back to school.

No. Interpreting racism from that quote is fair game. His intent is some sort of irony and this requires some sort of delivery to go along with that. Doing it through twitter is a stupid way to communicate it. It's why the person who said it on the Daily Show didn't generate controversy, but him quoting that did.

Twitter in general is an awful platform to make much of a point on. It's all about people writing short zingers where they try to dunk on someone.

My favorite thing about the tweet and the outrage over it is the implication that white people think being called a racist is just as bad as Muslims being called extremists.
