Pulliam-Moore writes, “Between the image and the headline of the article, entrepreneur and blogger Anil Dash explained, Fortune appeared not to have picked up on the heavy imperialist overtones.
“‘Thing is, I don’t care about some ‘sacrilege.’ What I detest is the evidence that no PoC at Fortune has enough power to stop this idiocy,’ Dash tweeted. ‘Also, many Indian people (like my dad) were born under colonial rule. So a headline discussing a corporate ‘invasion’ is probably not ideal.’
“To his credit, Fortune Editor-In-Chief Alan Murray apologized for having approved a cover that caused so much offense, but the question still remained as to how exactly something like this happens.
“The most logical answer is simple: nobody raised any concerns about the cover or the copy throughout the editorial process. In Dash’s opinion, though, the lack of concern was reflective of a deeper problem: a lack of diversity in the newsroom.”
