Tweet on race relations

Jan. 1, 1900

On July 5, 2018, Rao retweeted a link to a New York Times op-ed written by Emory University philosophy professor George Yancy titled, Should I Give Up on White People?, with commentary indicating that she had done so. In an interview with Colorado Politics, Rao stated that she stood by her tweet: "It’s incumbent on white people and not people of color to solve it." Rao added that she had personally experienced racism while living in Virginia, New York City, and Colorado. In December 2017, Rao wrote an open letter titled I'm a Brown Woman Who's Breaking Up With The Democratic Party. “ Short and long answer: YES. Should I Give Up on White People? https://nyti.ms/2qCiRof ” —Saira Rao
