I'm sure Gomix will have some level of success, though I have no idea what it is from his post - which just seems to be about how his is now CEO and all the glory is his. I wonder how his team feel about that? Perhaps some of them are white, so the team doesn't matter?
He wasn't even trying to win an argument or refute anything.
Also that's one link. He inserts race into "everything"?

Its totally pointless and counter-productive, but hey, at least his followers will cheer.
This seems like putting a spin on things. Following a link in the article, you might want to read what Anil actually wrote (in particular, search for "Update"):
